Cannot connect to a specific site

thekaptn · 12-20-2007, 01:14 AM

I haven't been able to access http://mindpoop.com for some time now, and I have not been able to solve the problem. I can access any site on the net except anything on mindpoop.com. I have contacted the admin of the site and confirmed that there is no reason why I shouldn't be able to access the site.
Through some trial and error, I believe I have diagnosed the problem to my linksys router. I can actually get onto the site when I connect directly to my modem, but when I go through the router, it will not work.
To solve this, I refered to multiple articles on linksys's website as well as many other articles I could find about this issue. This ranged from setting my router settings to default to changing my ports, to changing my MTU settings. None of this worked!
I have spent countless hours trying to fix this problem, and to no avail. It's not like I desperately need to get on that site, but it bothers me that my computer has a problem that I cannot fix.
Help please!

OS - XP SP2
Browser - Newest IE and newest Firefox
ISP - Comcast
Router - Linksys BEFSR41 ver 3.1

I suspect there is a Firewall router issue. Try shutting off the Firewall.
