A website, one website, is not loading on my computer [Windows 7]. It loads on other people's computers. I've tried several things -
> ipconfig /flushdns
> ping [name of website] -> no packets returned
> tracert [name of website] -> 1 * * * Request timed out (a bunch of times)
> arp -d * -> didn't really do anything
I've also switched the DNS servers I'm using to OpenDNS. Other websites load, but this one does not. If I use a proxy, I can access the website from my computer, but I'd like to fix the problem, because the website also has a linux server which I can't connect to either.
I used a local and online nslookup to confirm that the IP my computer is trying to access and the IP that the online nslookup found were the same. And yes, I did try accessing both https:// and http://
As far as I can tell, I don't have any viruses (and if I did it'd be unlikely for them to target this one website, and I tried disabling my firewall).
What else could I try? I'm on a university internet, so I don't think I can go fiddle with the router, but even if I could, several things I've tried suggest it's not the router.
When you ping it, does it resolve to the correct IP address? – Paul – 2015-01-27T05:22:07.647
You don't say which browser you are using. Do IE, Firefox & Chrome all give the same result? – Peter Fowler – 2015-01-27T09:29:45.837
@Paul It resolves to the same IP that an online nslookup resolves to. – user3475234 – 2015-01-27T15:12:50.663
@PeterFowler Yes, all three browsers give no result (although I thought testing it with ping would imply that). – user3475234 – 2015-01-27T15:13:26.393
Thought you may be pinging from within a website like speed test.net! – Peter Fowler – 2015-01-27T20:42:49.447
It turns out other people in my vicinity are having the same problem, so I'm guessing it's a problem with the university internet. – user3475234 – 2015-01-27T21:32:21.380
