Having trouble accessing certain websites - continuously time out

    Hello.

    I am having difficulty accessing certain websites. It started off just being the one I originally wanted - forever21.com - and has since started to do it for other, random sites that I have always been able to access. It says the connection is resetting, yet it doesn't do it to any other sites with much more content.

    I am using Win7; I have tried accessing the site on Internet Explorer, Firefox, and Chrome. It doesn't work on any of them. I am already running through a static IP. Everything related to my IP configuration is correct. The site is allowed on all lists, it's not blocked anywhere. Every time I ping the site in the prompt, it comes back as timed out. The website cannot be accessed via the cache or by posting the site's IP address (12.203.64.163).

    I can access the site from my mobile. None of my friends are having trouble accessing it, and websitenetworking says that it is accessible, just not for me (obviously).

    I have also done the following:

    - All manual prompt resets; dns flush, winsock reset, etc.
    - Toggled firewall/virus protection, alternately, with no results.
    - Scanned for viruses, malware, spyware, etc. Nothing.
    - Fixed registry.
    - Cleared all caches; all cookies, history, all offline data.
    - Manually reloaded the site.
    - Cleared hosts files.

    Does anyone have any other ideas, or should I start calling my internet provider?

    the address 12.39.58.163 has no DNS record and forever21.com is 12.203.64.163

    let's look at your tcpip settings; get a command prompt window (start->run->cmd) and enter
    ipconfig /all >myTcp.txt
    open that file, copy the contents and paste into your follow-up.

    also, test the network path to forever21.com like this:
    tracert forever21.com

    When I put ipconfig /all >myTcp.txt into the command prompt, nothing comes back at all. I tried it several times.

    When I do the tracert for forever21.com, it comes back with responses for seven requests and the rest all come back as timed out. The seven response numbers are:
    1) 15 ms; 19ms; 6ms
    2) 16 ms; 14ms; 16ms
    3) 177ms; 228ms; 211ms
    4) 35ms; 38ms; 36ms
    5) 254ms; 187ms; 270ms
    6) 58ms; 56ms; 56ms
    14) 82ms; 89ms; 89ms

    the data went INTO the file myTCP.txt
    please paste at least up to the first timeout data so we can see where the issue occurs.
