Forum Overview :: American McGee's Honda Civic :: Why does Caltrops.com hate my PC

[quote name="Rafiki"]I can usually connect to the site a couple times on my PC before I can never connect again ever. The only thing that fixes it is if I reboot. I had this problem before with other sites, like stackoverflow.com (?!), but then the problem went away for all of them except Caltrops. So far, I've: <ul> <li>cleared every browser setting / file I can</li> <li>set every browser security setting to the lowest possible setting</li> <li>added caltrops.com to trusted domains</li> <li>disabled Windows Firewall</li> <li>disabled virus protection</li> <li>disabled my router's firewall</li> <li>disabled / cleared every router filter setting I could </li> <li>uninstalled / reinstalled browser</li> </ul> None of this works. This is IE9 (don't feel like arguing browser wars), but it doesn't matter. Even if I use Steam's web browser it still doesn't work. I've tried using ping from the command prompt, but I never get any replies. I've tried using my router's internal ping tool, and it receives replies just fine. If I connect my iPhone to my router at the same time that my PC can't connect, my iPhone connects just fine. I disabled the cellular signal and used wifi only to make sure it wasn't downloading from the cellular network. So for some reason my PC starts blacklisting caltrops and I don't know why. What in the hell would cause this? Oh, and I checked the hosts file and it's empty. And browsers / ping tool can resolve the IP address fine, they just never receive any response.[/quote]
