Is there something wrong with my packets?

tjg79,

I don't see where you answered this question of mine:

.....Do you have another device that you can use to try and surf to the website of interest? Perhaps a cellphone or tablet. Or maybe ask a friend to bring a laptop over as a test. If multiple devices have problems reaching the website while using your network - then we can stop looking for problems with your desktop.

edit:
I can get to the website using IE8 on an unpatched W7 SP1 OS with the date/time off by more than a year. It is not a secure website. I doubt that certificates or date/time matter.

I only have my desktop at the moment.

Have you been able to test this:

On your desktop, can you reach the website while in the safe mode with networking?

I've got the same problem in Safe Mode with networking.

I've got Verizon DSL. My IP address changes over time.

Consider what you see under:

   Note

The text below might uniquely identify you on the Internet

Your Internet connection's IP address is uniquely associated with the following "machine name"

Especially if you see any text listed after your ip address.

I used to be responsible for blocking spammers from a forum which was part of one of my employer's websites. I can tell you that it is possible to block an entire ip address range (or ranges) rather than a single ip address and also block particular servers.

I'm not saying that this is what has happened in your case - just that it is possible.

They may take the view that they block every connection from a particular ISP of ip address range due to previous problems from troublemakers. Or maybe it's something else.

I got a good test response.

THE EQUIPMENT AT THE TARGET IP ADDRESS
DID NOT RESPOND TO OUR UPnP PROBES!
(That's good news!)

Can you surf to the top level website using the IP address:

Code:

http://128.135.44.111/

How about:

Code:

http://128.135.44.111/Thayer/E/home.html

Do you have a neighbor that also uses Verizon DSL? Maybe you could ask them to test the link.

It would help the troubleshooting to get a second computer/phone/tablet involved.


edit:
BTW, thanks for the NSLOOKUP info. I was hoping that something would jump out at me from that info, but it did not.

No, I can't surf to the top level website using the IP addresses.
