Firefox/IE/Chrome can't access one website from several computers

There is one website I cannot get onto from several computers if I try using Firefox / Ie or Chrome. All computers can access the site using AOL browser (and we connect to the internet through a router and AOL is our ISP). I can also access it via iphone and I know that there is no problem with the actual site.
Actually we cannot access any site that we know of on that particular server - it is as though it has blocked access from our ip address but only when Firefox/Moxzilla or Chrome. But none of our computers have problems elsewhere on the internet it seems to be just that one (server/website).
This started suddenly this a few days ago and is driving me mad.
I have checked that Norton Firewall settings and all are allowed to access the internet and the ip address or sites aren't blocked.
Our settings on AOL/IE/Firefox for accessing the internet all say auto-detect proxy setting.
I have asked the owner of the server to check at their end that we aren't on a blocked list - we aren't.
I am not sure what to do next - any ideas welcome.

This is the first time I have used this forum and I did put in the web address actually - I don't know why it didn't show. It is www.chardswimming.org.uk.
I posted it in Firefox because that is the browser that I mostly use and normally find it to be great without problems - I am not necessarily saying it is a firefox problem and I actually thought someone would try and be helpful rather than try and pass the buck like people from other software companies would.

Help - can't access one website from my Macs, but I can on my PCs

A couple of days ago, I stopped being able to access at least one specific website on my Mac.
It’s my own domain so I haven’t been banned or blocked.
Everyone else can access the site, so it’s not down.
I can access the site from the PCs in my house, so it’s not an ISP issue.
I cannot access it from FTP, Firefox, Safari, or anything else on my Mac, so it’s not a browser issue.
I can access every other site I’ve tried, so it’s not an internet issue.
I’ve repaired permissions. I’ve rebooted several times.
What gives? Any ideas?
I just tried it on my brother’s computers on the SAME network. His PC could access it but not his Mac. So it appears isolated to Macs on this network.
I'm baffled.

Have tried everything: - all the suggestions on this page, and from this thread too: http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=755113&tstart=135

Firefox starts but can't access any website.same issue is experienced with Chrome, not Explorer

Hello, I have an issue with surfing with Firefox. The browser starts but can't access any website. The same issue is experienced with Google Chrome. On the other hand, Internet Explorer works smoothly. Thanks

Some problems occurs when your Internet security program was set
to trust the previous version of Firefox, but no longer recognizes your
updated version as trusted. Now how to fix the problem: To allow
Firefox to connect to the Internet again;
* Make sure your Internet security software is up-to-date (i.e. you are running the latest version).
* Remove Firefox from your program's list of trusted or recognized programs. For detailed instructions, see
'''[https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/configure-firewalls-so-firefox-can-access-internet Configure firewalls so that Firefox can access the Internet.]''' {web link}

Can't access one website... so annoying!

Hello, I'm new to this forum and I was just after some help with a problem I've been having for a month or so now.
I work for a website and for a month now I've not been able to access that one particular website. Every other website is fine. I've tried everything I can think of, flushing/renewing the dns and putting chrome and ie on the exceptions list on windows firewall are two that I can remember doing. I've also restarted in safe mode and the website still doesn't work.
I know several websites are featured on that websites server and I can't access them either. I also know for a fact that the website is running, when speaking to colleagues etc...
I thought it might be something to do with my antivirus (norton 360) but I tried to access that website on my fathers computer and he has AVG, so not sure if it's anything to do with that.
I would really appreciate it if someone could help me. The only thing I can think of now is it being a fault with the internet? I can't tell you how frustrating it is!!
Thank you in advance

Hi. Welcome to the forums.
There can be a few reasons for this problem, some form of local blocking via a security program (in the distant past, a rogue hosts file entry can cause this, and may still affect some people).
One of the easiest checks is to power cycle your router, i.e. disconnect the BB, remove all power including the plug from the wall, wait a few minutes and reconnect. This usually gets a new IP address (before and after can be checked by going to somewhere like http://www.whatismyip.com/). Try the site again.
Sometimes an IP address can somehow become stale, no idea why - but maybe there is some bad router code in the various networks out there and are not able to reconcile the website (even a DNS lookup failure for that stale IP address).

Can not access one website

I am using Comcast's ARRIS Model TG1682G modem/router. I can access a website using my computer from other locations but not from home either driectly wired or using WIFI. I get the message:"This Page Not Available". ERR_SSL_VERSION_OR_CIPHER_MISMATCHA secure connection cannot be established because this site uses an unsupported protocol.Any suggestions? If I ndd to change the IP address, I need to be instructed.

Yes I have tried Exployer, and Firefox. I am currently using Chrome. None has worked from my home. They all work other places. My brother uses Comcast at a different location and he can access the site. Thanks

Can't load one website from Firefox only, other sites work.

This used to work, but now I cannot connect to one server using Firefox. I can connect to that server using epiphany on the same laptop and also from other computers, even using Firefox on other computers (although the other system has not upgraded to FF10 yet).
The error I get over and over is 'The connection to the server was reset while the page was loading.'
I have cleared the cache, cookies, etc., all the items in Clear Recent History with time range 'everything'. I am not using offline mode, nor have data stored for offline use. I am not using a proxy and disabled ABP. When I remove the server-certificate for that site I get the expected 'This connection is untrusted.' and after I 'Confirm Security Exception' I am back to 'connection...was reset while...loading'.
I have read through the trouble shooting guides and not found anything else.
Where else is Firefox storing data that might prevent me from connecting to that site?
Thank you in advance for your help.

I'm kind of new to this. But isn't it incumbent upon the Browser designer to ensure their software is compatable with most modern "servers"? In my case, I have a website hosted by Go Daddy, which I think is a fairly progressive and up-to-date service provider. I've tried Safari, IE, Chrome and all work fine but the latest version of Firefox is causing this extemely inconvenient error to constantly pop up. I'll continue the search, but to date, everyone seems to be blaming the "server" rather than finding a solution within Firefox.

Can't access one website

There is one website which I can't access. Nothing odd about the site -- it's a client website that's full of photos I need to view & download.
I can access the website if I plug directly to my Comcast modem. It appears the AirPort (Extreme 802.11n) is being blocked by this website.
I don't seem to have this problem with any other websites.
How/what do I change on the AirPort so that this website will no block me?
I'm on 10.6.8
Thanks.

SOLVED!!
The website is Portuguese. Here's what conspired:
1) (from me) "Hello, I need some very technical help (I apologize for the English).
I am a graphic designer working on creating marketing materials for ____. I am using your site to collect marvelous photos.
Unfortunately, ________.com has blocked me. I need someone to turn off this block. I am not sure how this is done.
The address that is blocked, is my MAC (Media Access Control) address, also known as an ethernet ID.
That number is
00:00:00:00:00:00
Please let me know if you can help me, or if there is someone else I should contact."
2) (from them) "Dear _____,
Thank you for your e-mail.
We already talked with a technician. He needs to know your IP. You can check it on this website - http://www.whatismyip.com"
3) (from me, who didn't think the IP address would help, since the block was only on my Airport) "Thank you. My ip address is 00.00.000.000
The problem may be more specific to one device MAC address, which is 00:00:00:00:00:00"
4) (from them) "Your ban has been lifted. You should be able to access now.
You were automatically blocked on Fri Jul 20 19:08:41 2012 (PT time) because of 15 failed FTP login attempts in a short period of 5 minutes. Please make sure to save your password somewhere safe and don't retry failed attempts. If you misplace your password and can't access, you should contact us instead.
May I also inform you that device MAC addresses can be blocked on local area networks (LAN). On the Internet (WAN, or Wide Area Network), we deal with gateways, which is your public IP."
This all happened so quickly, I was SO impressed!! I don't know how there could have been 15 FTP attempts... unless my browser was stuttering or re-trying repeatedly or something. I was blocked after the first attempt.
But it's fixed. Yay!

Cisco e3000 - Can't access ONE website

So I've been dealing with this issue for about a week now. The problem is that I can't access my car club's forums. The URL is http://www.moccforums.com . I've definitely isolated the problem to the router as I can connect if I plug in straight to my modem. I've tried it with multiple browsers and multiple computers. I've reset and reconfigured the router about 6 times already to no avail. Not a single computer in my home network can access this website. I've tried to ping the site with both the URL and its actual IP address and nothing has worked. Ping attempts time out as does actually trying to pull up the site on a browser.

I just don't understand it. It was working before and now it's not. This is really starting to drive me up the wall. MTU is already set at 1365 and filters are off.
Solved!

Can't access one website after safari update

After the Safari 5.1.4 update, I'm unable to access one particular site, the one that used to be my homepage. Trying to access it causes the browser and OS to freeze up for several minutes. Can't force quit or close. I'm able to access my other 'regular' sites. Thought?

Hi ...
Try emptying the cache and do a reset.
From your Safari menu bar click Safari > Empty Cache. Quit then relaunch Safari. Go to Safari > Preferences - General and make sure the homepage url is correct.
If that didn't help, back to the menu bar, click Safari > Reset Safari. Select the top 5 boxes, click Reset.
According to your profile you have Lion v10.7 installed.
Disabling the Lion resume feature can help with Safari...
Open System Preferences > General
Deselect: Restore windows when quitting and re-opening apps
Restart your Mac.

After updating firefox now I can't access any websites other than gmail and youtube

today I upgraded firefox now i can't open any windows on my computer except for google and youtube. can't go back to EI either.

Hi,
I'm sorry you're having this issue with gmarks add-on. Maybe following answer from a top contributor will also work for you? (it helped another user whose gmarks didn't work after an update). See https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/839481#answer-204324

After 10.9.4 update can't access certain websites from any browser

I just updated to 10.9.4 Saturday evening the 26th.   Sunday morning I noticed that I was unable to get to some websites but they worked from the ipad and other devices in the house so I rebooted thinking something odd was going on post update.   It happened again a few times until I realized a pattern. I can not get to facebook, mail.google.com, google.com or most SSL only websites. Sites that redirect you to an SSL URL just sit there until they eventually time out. I can go to cnn.com but I can't load apple.com
if I try to go to bing.com which surprisingly doesn't force you to SSL it loads every time.   This is reproducible in SafarI, Firefox, and Chrome consistently. Rebooting no longer resolves the issue and I couldn't even come here to post this from the iMac because the discussion website eventually forces you to use SSL. (Actually, while posting this that URL eventually appeared after a very long wait. Other websites eventually time out entirely. Safari fails to load Facebook at all)

1. This procedure is a diagnostic test. It changes nothing, for better or worse, and therefore will not, in itself, solve the problem. But with the aid of the test results, the solution may take a few minutes, instead of hours or days.
Don't be put off merely by the seeming complexity of these instructions. The process is much less complicated than the description. You do harder tasks with the computer all the time.
2. If you don't already have a current backup, back up all data before doing anything else. The backup is necessary on general principle, not because of anything in the test procedure. Backup is always a must, and when you're having any kind of trouble with the computer, you may be at higher than usual risk of losing data, whether you follow these instructions or not.
There are ways to back up a computer that isn't fully functional. Ask if you need guidance.
3. Below are instructions to run a UNIX shell script, a type of program. As I wrote above, it changes nothing. It doesn't send or receive any data on the network. All it does is to generate a human-readable report on the state of the computer. That report goes nowhere unless you choose to share it. If you prefer, you can read it yourself without disclosing the contents to me or anyone else.
You should be wondering whether you can believe me, and whether it's safe to run a program at the behest of a stranger. In general, no, it's not safe and I don't encourage it.
In this case, however, there are a couple of ways for you to decide whether the program is safe without having to trust me. First, you can read it. Unlike an application that you download and click to run, it's transparent, so anyone with the necessary skill can verify what it does.
You may not be able to understand the script yourself. But variations of the script have been posted on this website thousands of times over a period of years. The site is hosted by Apple, which does not allow it to be used to distribute harmful software. Any one of the millions of registered users could have read the script and raised the alarm if it was harmful. Then I would not be here now and you would not be reading this message.
Nevertheless, if you can't satisfy yourself that these instructions are safe, don't follow them. Ask for other options.
4. Here's a summary of what you need to do, if you choose to proceed:
☞ Copy a line of text in this window to the Clipboard.
☞ Paste into the window of another application.
☞ Wait for the test to run. It usually takes a few minutes.
☞ Paste the results, which will have been copied automatically, back into a reply on this page.
The sequence is: copy, paste, wait, paste again. You don't need to copy a second time. Details follow.
5. You may have started the computer in "safe" mode. Preferably, these steps should be taken in “normal” mode, under the conditions in which the problem is reproduced. If the system is now in safe mode and works well enough in normal mode to run the test, restart as usual. If you can only test in safe mode, do that.
6. If you have more than one user, and the one affected by the problem is not an administrator, then please run the test twice: once while logged in as the affected user, and once as an administrator. The results may be different. The user that is created automatically on a new computer when you start it for the first time is an administrator. If you can't log in as an administrator, test as the affected user. Most personal Macs have only one user, and in that case this section doesn’t apply. Don't log in as root.
7. The script is a single long line, all of which must be selected. You can accomplish this easily by triple-clicking anywhere in the line. The whole line will highlight, though you may not see all of it in the browser window, and you can then copy it. If you try to select the line by dragging across the part you can see, you won't get all of it.

Copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C.
8. Launch the built-in Terminal application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Terminal in the icon grid.
Click anywhere in the Terminal window and paste by pressing command-V. The text you pasted should vanish immediately. If it doesn't, press the return key.
9. If you see an error message in the Terminal window such as "Syntax error" or "Event not found," enter
exec bash
and press return. Then paste the script again.
10. If you're logged in as an administrator, you'll be prompted for your login password. Nothing will be displayed when you type it. You will not see the usual dots in place of typed characters. Make sure caps lock is off. Type carefully and then press return. You may get a one-time warning to be careful. If you make three failed attempts to enter the password, the test will run anyway, but it will produce less information. In most cases, the difference is not important. If you don't know the password, or if you prefer not to enter it, press the key combination control-C or just press return three times at the password prompt. Again, the script will still run.
If you're not logged in as an administrator, you won't be prompted for a password. The test will still run. It just won't do anything that requires administrator privileges.
11. The test may take a few minutes to run, depending on how many files you have and the speed of the computer. A computer that's abnormally slow may take longer to run the test. While it's running, there will be nothing in the Terminal window and no indication of progress. Wait for the line
[Process completed]
to appear. If you don't see it within half an hour or so, the test probably won't complete in a reasonable time. In that case, close the Terminal window and report the results. No harm will be done.
12. When the test is complete, quit Terminal. The results will have been copied to the Clipboard automatically. They are not shown in the Terminal window. Please don't copy anything from there. All you have to do is start a reply to this comment and then paste by pressing command-V again.
At the top of the results, there will be a line that begins with the words "Start Time." If you don't see that, but instead see a mass of gibberish, you didn't wait for the "Process completed" message to appear in the Terminal window. Please wait for it and try again.
If any private information, such as your name or email address, appears in the results, anonymize it before posting. Usually that won't be necessary.
13. When you post the results, you might see an error message on the web page: "You have included content in your post that is not permitted," or "You are not authorized to post." That's a bug in the forum software. Please post the test results on Pastebin, then post a link here to the page you created.
14. This is a public forum, and others may give you advice based on the results of the test. They speak only for themselves, and I don't necessarily agree with them.

Can't Access One of My Network Computers via Windows (File) Explorer

I've just installed a new router (Linksys EA3500 Dual Band) to replace my old (Linksys WRT100), but can't imagine how that could cause this trouble, except that prior to installing the new router, all worked properly. I have three Workgroup computers
on my network, one running Win 7 Ultimate 64bit (call it Tower-755, an older laptop upstairs running Win 7 Pro 32bit (call it MommaDell), and a super laptop running Win 7 Pro 64bit (Call it M6600). On Tower-755 I have a mirrored Raid1 drive - call
it Z: - that I share over the net (i.e. Everyone = Read/Write).
Since installing the new router, when I open File Explorer on M6600 or MommaDell, I can see - in the search pane (under Network) - all three computers, and when I click on MommaDell, its shared folder is accessible, but when I click on Tower-755
I get an error saying, "Windows cannot access
\\Tower-755, yet I can ping it successfully from a command prompt.
However, when I open File Explorer on Tower-755, although I can see all three computers in the search pane (under Network), I can't access any of the three (including Tower-755 itself); I get the same error message, although I CAN ping them from a command
prompt.
Also, and I'm not sure if this related, in the search pane under HomeGroup on all three computers, I can only see MommaDell.
I've checked and double checked all my router settings, including the IP Address range (192.168.1.2 - 51). I also have a Domain Controller server with two joined workstations on the net, so I have a static IP in order to be able to access the server
and/or workstations remotely when we travel.
That's my story and I'm stuck with it, but I'd sure be grateful for any help with this mess.
Capt. Dinosaur

Hi Capt,
In order to help you analyze your issue, we need confirm some situations.
1. Did these 3 computers all join the same HomeGroup or Workgroup?
Yes
2. Domain Controller server with two joined workstations you mentioned, did it mean two of these 3 computer joined the domain environment?
No. Those are separate computers in their own domain, just using the same network.
3. Did you ping via IP address or computer name?
Both, but this morning something is different.
a. MommaDell and M6600 can ping each other both by IP and Name, but can't ping Tower-755 either way.
b. Tower CAN ping both MommaDell and M6600 both ways.
According to your description,
Tower cannot ping MommaDell and M6600.
No, Tower CAN ping both MommaDell AND M6600 both by ip and name.
MommaDell can ping Tower.
M6600 can ping Tower.
Both of the above was true yesterday, but not this morning.
Please check if MommaDell and M6600 could ping each other.
Yes they can
And make sure all of them turn on the network discovery and turn off the firewall temporarily for test:
Network Discovery is ON in all three machines, and Windows firewall is always off because I have ZoneAlarm on all three machines.
Enable or disable network discovery
Which?
http://windows.microsoft.com/en-in/windows/enable-disable-network-discovery#1TC=windows-7
If it doesn't resolve, please post every computer's ipconfig /all output here for analysis.
it's 7:30 and I have to be out until 2:30. I'll do the posting then, and thanks for the help.
Please remember to mark the replies as answers if they help, and unmark the answers if they provide no help. If you have feedback for TechNet Support, contact [email protected]

Can't access some websites from XP machines on the network, but Win7 PC's ok

Hi,
We have a SBS installation with both XP and 7 PCs on it. Within the last couple of weeks the XP units have become unable to access certain websites, although others are ok. Windows 7 PC's are fine. Pings to the affected sites are also ok from either XP or
7. Despite a lot of effort trying to discover the reason we are not any closer to a solution. Could anyone suggest how we might track down the source of the issue ?
Many thanks

Hi,
Please try to reset the IE on the XP client. This issue may be caused by misconfiguration of the Internet Explorer.
Please check if there is any firewall rule block the TCP port 80 of the specified website.
To check if the TCP port 80 is open, please use the portqry tool.

If the TCP port 80 is block on the specified website, please check the network settings. Normally, this issue is caused by the misconfiguration of the firewall. Also, incorrectly configured proxy or router will cause this issue too.
If the TCP port 80 is open, we may need to perform a network capture on the XP client.

Server 2012 - Can't access external website from internal domain with same name. Tried everything.

Hello All.
I have read loads of forums and tried numerous fixes and configurations, but nothing seems to work and I am extremely frustrated at this point.
I have a client where I setup Server 2012 Standard with Exchange 2013. After reading best practice documentation for DNS naming and reasons not to use ".LOCAL" I opted to use ".com.na" in which case the Internal Domain Name and Internet
Website now has the same name.
When attempting to open the extarnal website eg. "www.company.com.na" from a client PC within the internal "company.com.na" Domain, I keep getting error "403 - Forbidden: Access is denied. You do not have permission to view this
directory or page using the credentials that you supplied."
I should also mention, the website is hosted by an ISP and not locally.
I added a "www" Host record in the Forward Lookup Zone, I have added the url and ip address to the Hosts file on a client pc (Windows 7) and even tried setting up Split-Brains DNS. Nothing seems to work.
Running a Tracert takes me to the correct public ip address of the website, but I keep getting this 403 error.
I am so sick and tired of this issue that iI am at the point of backing up the Exchange and re-rolling the entire server with the ".local" DNS domain name. I have a mirror setup in a VMWare environment and simply using "rendom" to rename
the domain seems to cause new issues with Exchange connectivity.
Any pointers and help will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance.

I opted to use ".com.na" in which case the Internal Domain Name and Internet Website
now has the same name.
This ends up with a split-DNS stup for internal and external resolution which requires extra administration tasks and attention from the administrators.
When attempting to open the extarnal website eg. "www.company.com.na" from a client PC within the internal "company.com.na" Domain, I keep getting error "403 - Forbidden: Access is denied. You do not have permission to view
this directory or page using the credentials that you supplied."
I should also mention, the website is hosted by an ISP and not locally.

This means that you are able to reach the Website but it is responding with the access denied error message. That should be checked on the middleware level so if this is IIS running then I would recommend asking them in IIS forum: http://forums.iis.net/
If this is a Website that is completely managed by your ISP then I would recommend checking with them.

Suddenly I cannot access one website

All of a sudden I cannot access one website at www.countrywalkers.com from any of the three Macs on my network. Two of them are wireless and one is ethernet-cabled
I work for them so it would be helpful if I could do so. I e-mailed them and they have confirmed that other Mac users can access their website without any problem and that they have certainly not blocked me from accessing their website.
The connection to this website fails using Safari, Firefox and Netscape and Firefox and IE via VPC on my g5 iMac, Safari and Firefox on a G4 Powerbook and a G4 Tower.
I connect to the internet via a 3Com router which works perfectly except for this glitch.
I have changed nothing in my set-up and have been able to access this website uninterruptedly for about 10 years, until about two weeks ago.
I have used ping, lookup and traceroute in Network Utility to try and work out what is wrong. In the ping test, all the packets go missing. The lookup gives information which means nothing to me. The traceroute test shows asterisks at stages 2, 5 and 13 onwards, meaning I suppose that this is where the connection to the remote URL is faiiling.
What does this all mean and what can I do about it?
There seem to be a lot of posts on this issue, almost all of them unresolved, and hope that I have posted in the right place.
I do not have anything like PeerGuardian.
Thanks for any help.
