I am posting here because I have exhausted all possibilities I could think of. Some websites are not accessible on one particular machine on my network. I have three laptops, one desktop and other mobile devices and they all work except desktop. What is interesting is that these sites work in TOR. This is rather strange and I can't think of what is going on. Any help is appreciated.

Thanks

What does HTTP traffic look like on a tcpdump when accessing sites that work versus sites that don't? – MaQleod Sep 21 '12 at 19:18
WinDump does not show anything unusual between two requests....should I be looking for anything in particular? – lazynomore Sep 22 '12 at 4:08

What does "not working" mean exactly?

Uninstall PeerBlock and check again. Also check your hosts file.

Check whether that domain/IP address is blocked or not. – Karan Sep 21 '12 at 19:00
Host file seems ok : # 102.54.94.97 rhino.acme.com # source server # 38.25.63.10 x.acme.com # x client host # localhost name resolution is handled within DNS itself. # 127.0.0.1 localhost # ::1 localhost – lazynomore Sep 21 '12 at 19:05
If there are no uncommented lines (without a hash at the beginning) with text, your hosts file should be the default empty one and thus nothing to worry about. BTW, have you tried opening that site in an alternate browser (without Tor running)? – Karan Sep 21 '12 at 19:08
