You can try a different browse, which does not use any of IE files (like
FireFox.) If it still does not work, you would need to check your system for
some type of blocking software, such as anti-virus or anti-spyware blocking
tools. These may consider that site as a "bad" site.

There is always a possibility that some spyware/malware/hackware/trojan may be
on your system, which might block access to that site.

Lastly, you need to double check with your local Windows HOST file, which may
block access to that site also.

Hi,

I'm at the end of my abilities to troubleshoot. I am unable to connect to
www.aopa org even though the rest of Internet seems reachable. I don't
understand what can cause this problem, here is what I have tried, to no
avail:

* Tried it on another network, still can't reach it
* Website is up and running, tried it from another computer, it works.
* Problem has persisted for 7 days now
* DNS lookup retrieves correct web address
* browsing to the website using the IP address doesn't work either
* Tracert to www.aopa.org works ok
* Telnet on port 80 connects fine, but no response from the server (same
issue, I suppose)
* Internet Explorer and also other browsers have the same issue
* Upgrading to IE7 didn't fix the issue (suspect it is not a browers issue,
but somewhere below the browers level)


Any suggestions what else I can try?

Thanks,

Ilan787

Flushing the dns cache might resolve it (please forgive the pun)
