Forum:I cannot access any Wikia wiki from my personal computer

For the past couple of months, I have not been able to load Wikia pages from my personal computer. Any other computer can connect to Wikia using the same connection, so I know it has something to do with this specific computer and not my LAN or WAN connections. So far, I have tried:


 * Flushing the DNS with ipconfig /flushdns.
 * Checking the hosts file.
 * Pinging the wiki I am trying to connect to (the ping always succeeds, no packet loss).
 * Trying to load the wiki across multiple browsers and clearing the cache, site data, etc. from each browser, to no effect.
 * Disabling my firewall.

I am at the end of my rope and can think of nothing more to fix this problem. I miss editing my wikis, and it feels almost like being banned. All help appreciated. –PatPeter 09:56, November 5, 2012 (UTC)

 * Since this seems to be an issue on his end, I doubt S:C would help. What OS are you on? 1358  (Talk)  10:06, November 5, 2012 (UTC)
 * Yeah, but they can help in troubleshooting.—


 * Perhaps something you installed is filtering web accesses, or something upstream is. Try using a proxy server (or web proxy site) -- 65.92.181.190 11:50, November 6, 2012 (UTC)
