Can't connect to GoDaddy domain

lines_michael · 06-18-2009, 06:59 PM

Here is my set up. Win 2000 Pro, IE7, Firefox 5.0, Linksys Router, ISP is local electric company (Clarksville Department of Electric, TN)

I recently purchased a GoDaddy Domain and economy hosting. When I try to go to my URL via name or directly to the IP address, I get the following message.

Connection Interrupted
The connection to the server was reset while the page was loading.
The network link was interrupted while negotiating a connection. Please try again. I was able to access everything fine for ONE whole day but prior to that and ever since, it has been the following.

I can use a free proxy and get access.
I can ping without a problem.
Neither Web Browser will access it.
A tracert makes in to "trace complete"
I have cleared cache, rebooted, turned off Bit Defender and Spybot.
I have bypassed router and still the same result.
All other websites seem to be fine.
Everyone outside my home is able to access the page without a problem.
I can FTP into my admin without any problems.

I am assuming it has something to do with my computer settings because the ISP and GoDaddy both say everything is fine on their end.

Please help???

Did you simply try a different computer? If someone with a laptop can access it from another location, have them bring it over and connect it directly to your modem and try connecting.

What's the exact make/model of the modem and the router?

It took me awhile to confirm that it was my computer but I have another computer connected to my router the same way (cat5) and it can reach my domain name fine. I'm not sure if it matters but the other computer that I reached the domain on was a MAC.

So the questions becomes, what can I check on my PC that may fix this issue? I have tried a ton of stuff but a list would be great. I have spybot search and destroy, Bit Defender, Spyware Blaster.

I don't have a modem, its fiber to the house and I just plug into the CAT5 socket in the wall. I have bypassed my router and everything is identical. It has to be on my computer somewhere.
