WIndows 8; can't connect to certain websites and games on the internet

So, here's the deal, I have windows 8 and use IE10. I play an online game called World of Tanks and until yesterday, there was no problem of this game. Now for some reason I can't connect to the game on the server, more site of World of Tanks is not connectable for me also.

Basic troubleshooting I've done so far;

I downloaded Google Chrome and tried the site via the browser, no solution.

I ran the diagnostic Windows programs, they regularly report that the site is online, but I can't connect.

I can easily access both game and website via my sister's computer, so it's not the fault of game websites.

I used a removal tool to rid my computer of McAfee, there is nothing.

I have temporarily disabled firewall programs Windows, still no change.

Sometimes, the game works fine, but usually it is unable to connect.

I restored IE10 default settings and deleted all history, etc.

I rebooted the computer, I rebooted my router.

I don't understand why two different browsers would not connect to a site that I can easily access other computers/devices on the same router. I don't understand why sometimes I can connect to the game and other times I can't.

I would also like to mention it as a local issue, I can chat with 'friends' who are also playing the game, and they report no these failures/challenges.

Thanks for any help.

I have the same issue, but with several different sites on WIN8/IE10... I couldn't access the site of Ebay in a few days, if I can access hundreds of other sites very well.

However, I don't think that this problem is related to IE 10 specifically, I can't access those sites when you use Chrome or Firefox.   I recently bought three new laptops with WIN8 and having exactly the same problem on all three machines. Can still access those sites very well on any of our old machines running XP or WIN7... same corporate network.  Confirmed that sites are online and working very well; connection is good; router is fine.  The only common denominator is that WIN8 blocking some sites... I can't figure out how.  BTW, I was able to access the site worldftanks very well.  I know this topic question addressing "issues of game", but I suspect that the cause may be the same as what tommay11 knew.  I was curious to know if he has a solution. Any help would be appreciated. Thank you
