I am having a very frustrating problem with accessing a particular website. The problem: one single computer on my network cannot access this website, while every other computer/device on the same network can reach the site just fine. The computer that cannot reach the site is running Windows 7 Ultimate 64 bit.
- "The connection has timed out. The server at
www.ee.hawaii.edu is taking too long to respond."
- Pings to the site are successful, but no browser can open the site (I assume this rules out a DNS issue, as pinging resolves the IP address of the site)
- Even trying to access the site using its IP instead does not work
- I have tried ipconfig /flushdns command, as well as other netsh reset commands
- If I boot off a gentoo linux livedvd, I can reach the site fine. It is just from this windows installation I cannot reach the site
- Other computers connected via ethernet (static ip or dhcp assigned) to the same main router can reach the site, as well as laptops/phones connected via wifi/dhcp
- I do not have windows firewall enabled at the moment, nor any other firewall software installed
- I only have MSE antivirus actively enabled, but have disabled this and still has no effect
- I have boot into safe mode with networking, and still cannot reach the site
- I have run virus/other scans using MSE, malwarebytes, superantispyware, ESET online scan. Nothing of significance has been found, and am still having the problem
- Windows hosts file is clean and in tact, no entries besides the localhost entry
- The browser I use is irrelevant, I cannot reach the site with firefox, IE, chrome
- Have cleared numerous cache/temps, even with CCleaner
- I can browse any other site just fine
- I have been able to reach the site from this computer with current OS in the past
Anyone have any ideas?
