Your diagnosis was the same as mine. At home I find my broadband ISP (mediacomm) frequently changes their DNS servers around, without expiring all the outstanding DHCP subscriptions. So, I have to go onto my router, release and renew my DHCP subscription and then all is well.
You can test the DNS problem by trying http://64.246.44.91 in a browser to bypass DNS lookup. If that works, and http://www.amazonbasin.com does not, then you know you have a DNS service problem.
