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  :o

Disable whatever you use (Spybot, AVG, Malwarebytes) and try again. If that did not work then capture your network activity when you try to connect to the forums. Use some kind of network analyzer like Wireshark.

If I type http://forum.lazarus.freepascal.org/ sometimes I also got the same error(approximately one time out of ten). Strangely enough, immediately after, if I go to http://www.lazarus-ide.org/, the forum link on the top of the page always works.

My system: Win7, Mozilla, no firewall.

http://www.freepascal.org might be fine but that's hosted on another IP-address.
The http://forum.lazarus.freepascal.org are hosted at the same ip as
http://lazarus.freepascal.org or http://www.lazarus-ide.org/
which is 80.123.225.56

So what do the following sites give you?
http://80.123.225.56
http://lazarus.freepascal.org
http://www.lazarus-ide.org

And what do the following commands give you?
Code: [Select]
tracert -h 100 forum.lazarus.freepascal.org
ping lazarus.freepascal.org

1394 was the number that worked
Weird number. What is you network situation? If you just have a router/modem which is connected directly to an internet provider the default of 1500 (1472 in ping) should be fine.

Do you have multiple routers and/or providers between the computers and the actual internet?
(this would also show in the traceroute)

Also can you take your Windows machine to someone else's place/network. It sounds like a firewall type issue on the Windows box that isn't allowing a web browser to access a site (but other software can on port 80 even). It is strange indeed.
