Hey,

So...I have a mikrotik 951 that does all the routing and AP for the devices at home. Internet is served by Mikrotik Groove from Amobia.

Now I as scrapping the media on the media player using thetvdb.com and all working fine.

Tried to access the same website via PC (WIFI) and gives "Error 101 Cannot Access Webpage". Hmmm...

- Ran and nslookup - all good gives IP and server info
- ran tracert - all good can see IP and and DNS resolves
- ran PING - all good response time 170ms
- MTU at 1460
- Flushed DNS cache on both Mikrotiks
- Flushed DNS and re-enabled connection to AP
- Cleared Web cache on browser
- static route in hosts file

Now my phone, wifes Macbook, iPad and iPhone connected to the same AP and getting internet from same devices can access the webpage fine...

So tried turning off firewall (MS Firewall) disabling antivirus (MS Essentials) still cannot access the bloody webpage!!

Anything I have missed...
 
I can't think of anything besides system software being at fault, sorry I can't help man.
 
have you tried to access that website from your pc via 3g ?
This will either eliminate the home equipment or your pc as the issue.

I would guess its something on the PC, what other malware or security applications do you have?
If you try use a cable instead of wireless do you experience the same issue?

Points to something on the PC that is blocking the website or IP. Have you tried accessing the IP 190.93.240.81 directly? Do you have Malwarebytes installed by any chance?
 
It might come down to a webkit issue. @Syntax - cant access the website by the ip either.
 
How about these two options:
- reset the network stack with the netsh command: (as admin) in cmd shell, and at c:\ prompt: netsh winsock reset and netsh int ip reset new.txt
- boot into Linux (from flash drive) and observe that behaviour, this obviously removes anything to do with Windows as being the source.

I see you DID say other devices can get there okay so you're unlikely to have the problem I did recently in which I could flat-out not get to a particular site on Amobia but could over any other connection. But it may still be worth working with them, I generally find their support to be more than willing to help, and not (as these things go) particularly obtuse or stupid either.
 
Solved. Was a NAT issue resolving to incorrect intereface on Mikrotik AP.
