is there an ip address I can type in to access the site rather than the domain name?

Consider switching to OpenDNS (http://www.opendns.com) if you're having DNS problems with your ISP.

not having any problems. Just looking for something that doesn't stand out so much on the router logs:classic:

I had a feeling that's what it was.

If they use a transparent proxy (via WCCP or simple route mapping), the proxy is likely set to do a reverse DNS lookup on addresses before logging them. Very simple, and not at all unusual in a business network.

And I know it works, that's how I have mine set up...

If you are just browsing the site you can run it through google translator (french to english works on english sites).

That way the logged ip's only go back to google.
