Cannot connect to a very specific website.

[Nogmor]

Hi!

I wasn't sure if this should go in the "web & Email" or the "networking" catagory, so I'll just post it here.

Ok, here's one heck of a weird problem: I cannot in any absolute way, connect to www.lockerz.com, including tracart, ping or whatnot.

hings I tried in my quest for an answer:

1) I checked the hosts file, its' not hijacked, heck im using mcaffee, nothing can pass it - and no, its' not the reason because i could go the website untill it stopped working for no apparent reason yesterday.

2) I checked alot of forums and nothing. nobody can figure it out. I reseted the windows' xp tcp/ip, I tried different DNS' (open dns, google dns).

3) I took my friends laptop and connected it directly to my socket to check if the ISP\IP are faulty, and no, the website works just fine on his laptop - which means the problem is my pc.

4) I tried removing the network adapter, LITTERALY out of the pc, reinstall it, and no, it still hasn't worked.

5) I reinstalled internet explorer, tried firefox, opera, chrome and safari, but still, this single website, doesn't load.

6) I even added the websites' own IP to my hosts file just incase my windows can't resolve the hostname on its own, and still it doesn't work.

Any help?

Thanks alot in advance...

P.S.
I do NOT want to reinstall win xp.. i really don't wanna go through the hell of reinstalling win xp...

Try refreshing your DNS resolver cache by following these steps:

Click on Start > Run > type CMD

In the Command Prompt, type: ipconfig /flushdns

Reboot.

If no luck,

Log onto router settings, select Wan settings and change MTU to 1396 (but remember original number in case it doesn't work). Click apply.

If still no joy,

Try accessing your website through the following Web proxy:

http://anonymouse.org/anonwww.html

ok... I guess i havent streched enough how much I tried to solve it, ok, even more...:

I tried fushdns, tried /release /renew, and I can access the website through proxies, but it causes problems in their website which force me to only have to use my own IP to access it.

No, my IP is not blocked by them or my ISP, since I already tried to access the website from my friends laptop - which worked.

last important note,

my ISP is a university, and I have no router. that is, i connect to a socket in a wall in the dormitories which connects to the university's network. NO this is not the problem, since like I said, it works fine on another laptop. (and in a different room/socket - not my pc, but the website).

Any more ideas?

TCP/IP stack repair options for use with Windows XP with SP2 or SP3.

Click Start > Run > type CMD

In the Command Prompt, type in the bolded text, one command after the other, pressing Enter between each of them:

Reset WINSOCK entries to installation defaults: netsh winsock reset catalog

Reset TCP/IP stack to installation defaults: netsh int ip reset reset.log

Reboot the machine.

hope it helps. I skimmed through it and other than programs I recognize, I didn't see anything out of the ordinary...

Nothing stands out from your log.

What about McAfee (antivirus and firewall)? Have you checked if the domain or IP address might be blocked in there?

 

[Nogmor]

yeha, shut down the mcaffee On-Access Scan, and no windows firewall - still nada.

still doesn't explain why only one single website won't load when it has, just a few days ago..

 

[Phantom010]

Perhaps THIS?

 

[Nogmor]

nope.. still didn't work...

I guess this has no answer....

 

[Phantom010]

Your problem is quite common. Unfortunately, very few solutions actually work. You may try waiting it out and hopefully it will work again in the near future. Or, you can try this last solution:

http://ask-leo.com/i_cant_access_some_websites_why.html

Hope it helps because it's my last idea.

 

[Nogmor]

well, i tried all three numbers, but apparently, the DrTcp, can't seem to figure out the actual numbers..

it could be this, but it doesn't seem like it....

ach.... I'll reinstall sometime.. I just know it.

thanks for your help though.. if you come up with any other ideas I'll be happy.

 

[Phantom010]

DrTCP won't show you any MTU value if none is set in the registry already. It creates the ones you want.

It uses the following registry key:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\Tcpip\Parameters

In the right-hand pane, create the new DWORD value MTU.

The normal values are:

576 - Dial-up Connections
1492 - PPPoE Broadband Connections
1500 - Ethernet, DSL and Cable Broadband Connections

Perhaps you could try other values until something gives?

 

[Nogmor]

well, i tried all three numbers, and im not exactly sure what I should try...

I did understand i need to restart each time, so it'll be a pain to try random numbers....
