Router Blocking Sites?

PMcOuntry · 03-Jul-2009, 10:59 PM #1

Hi, I was working on a site on Tuesday when all of a sudden it just quit working. I could not access it but have confirmed others can. I unplugged my router and plugged my comptuer directly into the cable modem and I can connect just fine to the website. However, there is more than one person in this house, so the router is essential. I have used this website for months and months and never had one problem. Now all of a sudden, it seems as thought my router is blocking it? I have an older router DI-604 and yes I updgraded the firmware, reset it, unplugged it, restored defaults, etc. I even bought a brand new switch today but it caused the same exact problem, so it will be going back. Meanwhile I have spent hours trying to figure out the problem (and days) with no answers. Anyone have any ideas?

After resetting the router to factory defaults and upgrading the firmware, I can't even imagine how it could block access to specific sites that it used to function for.

Try a different router.

I was afraid that would be the consensus. I didn't understand how a complete reset, restore, and all would continue to block either. The router is from 2003 so I guess we'll just upgrade to a new one tomorrow after the holiday. If anyone else has any ideas though please post. I do have the shared IP for that particular site if anyone knows how I would add it to my router to make it "see it"?

I like the D-Link DIR-615 for an inexpensive and capable of router. I've seen deals for $40 including an 802.11n PCMCIA wireless card in the bundle.

Maybe a Tracert is in order?

It might help a bit if we knew what the site was. Also make sure that all security measures such as the routers SPI firewall and any other security is turned off. By default I blv that it is enabled in many routers.

Well, I just put in a brand new router - found a linksys at Radio Shack for a great price and... the site works now, I can see it! No idea why my old one was blocking it, but it works so I'm happy!

Thanks for trying to help though!
