Question

Page not found, but works if I change my IP address, it's the only site I can't access


Network, Internet access, IP, IP addressing, Network connectivity, Netgear router, Routers

This is an odd situation. I have a Netgear router/firewall, internal address:192.168.0.150

All the PC's on the network have 192.168.0.xxx as address. Every web site I go to comes up except one. It's consistent across all PC's.

If I change the IP address to anything other than a 192.168.0.xxx, I can still go to all sites and the previously inaccessible site.

I've rebooted the router, used ipconfig /flushdns on the PC's, but no luck. What's odd is that when I can't access the site, I can do an nslookup and it returns the correct address.

I've checked netmasks, it's correct.


I am so flummoxed by this.

Any thoughts

If there is no answer being provided, even remotely, then I think that the "add to discussion" section should be used to ask follow-up questions because otherwise, it is like saying anything just to score points.

I know this is not really related to your router, but are you using something like Zone Alarm? I know it’s odd, but I’ve had some VERY odd problems with that program in the past, that would only affect certain sites/programs from functioning correctly.

Your problem is definitely interesting to say the least. Most consumer broadband modems/routers are simple devices such that if you changed the IP address of your client computer, it will not be able to communicate with the modem/router, unless it is capable of routing between internal subnets.

In addition to providing the name of the site that comes up, please specify the exact error message.

Maybe this website blocks the geographic location you are coming from. As others have stated, this is a strange problem and more information is needed to assist.

Could there be a port blocking issue? Maybe this website uses a port other than 80 or 443 for access.
