Router blocking 1 website
Hello, I have read through the other similar discussions. One specific website has stopped connecting thru my router. This started all of a sudden a few weeks ago. Devices that I can bypass the r...
Thanks to all who tried to help. Through process of elimination, I decided to exchange the modem under warranty. Installed the new upgraded modem, had it activated by my ISP WOW, and the site is back ??
Whatever, it worked, sad though the hours and hours spent trying to figure this out.
What website is it? Also, have you tried pinging it? Windows Key + R > CMD > Ping <website.com>. If the ping doesn't work, try "Tracert <website.com>". To copy/paste, right click on CMD windows and click "Select Al" and then press enter and paste into reply.

Tracert reports destination host unreachable
Yet, i can bypass router and go right there.
Can you post the tracert? Just looking to see if the website resolves to IP 208.71.128.50 or not. If it doesn't, can you post a tracert to 208.71.128.50 directly? Trying to see if its a DNS or firewall issue.

It looks to be resolving to the correct IP but isn't routing. Can you post a tracert to the same IP when connecting direct to the modem? Also, do you have any parantal controls set up with W.O.W or on the router?
The trace looks to be getting to your ISP, so that tells me its making it past your router, but your ISP isn't allowing it to route. Maybe it works when directly connected because you are getting a different IP when bypassing the router, and that IP block routes?
