Unable to connect to a specific web site

Although I'm not a novice when it comes to internet issues, I met a problem only and myself cannot explain... I'd be VERY grateful if someone in the community might be able to get an idea of troubleshooting.

A week ago, I noticed that on my home network (2 XP Pro, 1 Vista Home Premium and Vista 64 via WiFi, Linksys Router 1 laptop), I was able to access a favorite web site (u2torrents) via a wired hard XP systems, others would not connect.  I tried to use the numerical IP address, but it connected extraordinarily slowly and incompletely loaded pages.  I ping the site and got no response.

I have connected one of the XP Pro that was blocked by the router, directly to the cable modem, and it IS connected.

So, I thought that you need some sort of router problem.

Linksys has worked with me for three hours, and they couldn't identify a problem.  Of course, we went through the usual steps of router cold restarts, restore the default settings.

Any running Zone Alarm internet from my PC, but even more by turning off without effect.

I took my laptop to another WiFi network, and it worked fine... so, probably to prove the issue had nothing to do with the OS corruption.

All of a sudden, everything worked for two or three days.  I did however replace my router... four year old and all worked for two days... and now the same problem has recurred.

I have confirmed with u2torrents.com (by pingdom) that at least through this mode of audit, the site itself has no problem.

I am usually able to access u2torrents.com via my PC at my workplace, now, today I can't connect from there either.  However, at the Hospital where I work, u2torrents.com is accessible without problem.

So, I don't know where to go with this... I can't identify a problem with my home PC, the router, or by the owner of the u2torrents.com site, the site itself... the only is different home computer that DOES connect to the House has DNS settings which allows him to assign a static ip address on my home network, but can't imagine what a difference that would make...

And now with two completely separate ISP of the no connection to the u2torrents.com site, I'm really lost.

So, if anyone has an idea about that, I will be eternally grateful!

Thanks in advance, Peter

Thanks for the thoughts!

I found a solution... it is the affected DNS server... when I inserted the ip to opendns settings, everything worked like a charm.  So, I guess that somehow the site I was previously access to was somehow fell off the screen radar of the DNS server by using my ISP was.

Seems that it is a rare question... but to the credit of my ISP, when I called them, one of the suggestions is to insert the Google's DNS ip address, and that probably would have worked too.

Hope if someone else has this problem in the future, they may find this link and save several hours of aggravation... not to mention buying a new router that I probably didn't seriously need again!

Once again, thank you to those who have read my request and tried to help him.

    I don't know what to tell you. There is no problem, it's on your side.

    If you care to try it... on the assumption that your user account is damaged.
    Create a different user account with exactly the same type of account > connect to it and see if you can access this Web site.

    Personally, I doubt that will solve anything, since you already restored your computer to factory settings.

  • I can't connect to a specific Web site

    My PC is running w7 Pro x 64 and IE9.  I'm unable to connect to a specific Web site for which I have a valid user id (my email address) and password (for me at the time to register for the Web site). When I try to login, I get a message saying the user name or password is incorrect, a second try results in a message that says that either my username and my password is not recognized - it displays also exactly what I typed so I can see my errors. The user name is correct, but the password it displys is not what I came - he says it is so kxEXkaTT that I had entered the correct password kxEXk1T0, the owner of the site says that they have logged on successfully with my user name and password without any problem at all. I tried to connect from my wife PC and PC friends and have had a complete success. All my different passwords with most of the websites that I use have different similar cases and alpha characters and digital and none of them asked me no problem

    Other facts are that I was a regular user of this Web site for 3 years without problem until all the time, I upgraded from IE8 to IE9. The site says that they have thousands of registered members, as I am and have not experienced the problem that I have. I also have my PC protected by major software anti virus check and online protection against viruses and malware. and to my knowledge I don't have a virus problem more than 12 years of using a PC. I always check my incoming emails to the ISP server level and delete everything I do not feel safe on before I have to download the rest on my PC. I also only access sites deemed most is serious busdiness, media, and Government don't respect - no games, etc.

    I suspect that I have a few curruption of memory possible in the bowels of IE9, but am worried that I won't lose all my existing data, updates and the settings (as Favorites) if I remove and reinstall from the original CD IE9

    Any thoughts on what I should do would be appreciated. Thanks in advance, Arthur

    However, it does not work with Firefox for Canonical Ubuntu and Firefox binary downloaded from the mozilla web site. I deleted cookies and other things and there is still no progress. The macbook Firefox and Linux firefox sync via Firefox Sync, for sets of modules are identical.

  • The airport does not allow connection to a specific Web site

    I've narrowed my problem to my Airport. There is a Web site I visit and use regularly until the end of last week. Now I get a timed message on all browsers on all my devices. If I disable the WiFi on my iphone, the site is up instantly. Activate a wi - fi connection, page won't load. My last test - I have connected my iMac to my modem via ethernet. Still, the page loads perfectly. No problem. My questions are so what happened and what I do to fix it?

    Thank you

    I know it seems logical to blame the router from the airport... but before get you an idea on this... good reading through this thread.

  • Unable to connect to a particular Web site

    When I try to connect to www.heide-express.de the browser says what the server unresponsive. I don't think that it's a server problem, but a problem of browser setting, and I don't know what to change?

    Help, please!

    Hi again LegOff,

    Thanks for the quick response!

    Since more than one computer is affected by this issue, it seems that it could be related to the router. Moreover, it would also be a problem with the access provider.

    After some more research on this subject, I recommend you to ping the IP address of the Web site you mentioned in the post above: 144.76.56.227. Ping this address, please follow the steps below:

    Step 1. Click the Start button
    Step 2. In the search box, type "Command Prompt"

    Step 3. Click on command prompt

    Step 4. Type 'ping 144.76.56.227' and press ENTER.

    This should help to determine if your laptop is able to communicate properly with the Web site. If you are not able to recover all the answers for the Ping, it's probably a problem with the router or the access provider. If you are able to recover all the answers successfully, it is most likely a problem with the router firewall.

    To get help with your Internet service or your router, contact your service provider.

    Please re-post with the results of your troubleshooting, and I look forward to your response!

  • Specific static IP addresses let happen to specific web sites?

    505E PIX firewall allows us to connect to the Internet. All our PCs have static IPS assigned to them. How can I prevent a single PC with the address (ie. 1,2,3,4) to connect to a specific web site on the Internet whose address (ie. 9.8.7.6)?

    Here's a quick crack at it based on my understanding of what you are looking for:

    access-list outgoing tcp refuse host 1.2.3.4 host 9.8.7.6 eq www

    leaving the ip access list allow a whole

    Access-group out in the interface inside

    There is an access list written on the inside interface. Your first entry prevents your internal host to connect to the external webserver on port TCP 80. The second line is necessary to allow any outbound IP traffic. The second line becomes a requirement when you place an inside interface access list.

    The access-group lie command list of 'outside' access to inside interface.

    I hope this helps.
