Need help. Why does one of my PC's block webpages, but another doesn't
I have the same setup on all my home computers as far as OS and security.
I run Windows 7, 32bit Ultimate. I run MS Security Essentials or whatever you call it.
Anyway I have one PC that flat out REFUSES to open a certain webpage. I get this error:
Unable to connect
Firefox can't establish a connection to the server at servernamehere.net
* The site could be temporarily unavailable or too busy. Try again in a few
moments
* If you are unable to load any pages, check your computer's network
connection.
* If your computer or network is protected by a firewall or proxy, make sure
that Firefox is permitted to access the Web.
At first, I thought my ISP might be blocking it because I knew I could browse this page just fine on my HTC EVO 4G Android phone. I tried tethering my phone to this pc for an internet connection, the page STILL refused to load.
I grabbed my laptop which is on the same network, it loads fine.
What would be blocking it from working on one computer but not another on the same network, same internet service provider?
What can I check? I checked in Firefox to see if it was blocked, it's not. I tried IE, didnt help. I tried reinstalling Firefox, nope.
I have no firewall running other then the windows port crap..
Thoughts?
It actually does this with a few pages.
