Can you try after safe boot with networking? How about alternative browser? Do you have some proxy? Are your DNS servers set to automatic or not? Do you have some virgin Win7 virtual machine to try?
Tried safe boot, no access(that one I had not tried)
Tried IE,Firefox, chrome,safari, opera no luck.
NO proxy
I can ping forum.lazarus.freepacal.org fine, 80.123.225.56 fine, but can't access it in the browsers or access address directly.
Tried 3 windows 7 systems. no luck.
Works fine on android tables, Linux mint, linux deep-in machines. mint is what I am using to access forums.
Flushed dns, registered dns
can not access it thru telnet with port 80 or 8080
I know this is a strange one, and it only is with this site forum.lazarus.freepacal.org, the rest of the site works fine freepascal.org.
Don't have this problem with any other site or forums.
changed the MTU, changed to dns to 8.8.8.8.
Anything else to try?
May have to live with booting Mint to check forums
