Can not reach particular web site

I noticed I am no longer able to reach vrbo.com through by business internet connection. The DNS resolves to the correct IP address, but it appears that the traffic is not routed to the address correctly. Worked fine on residential internet before switching to business. It also works fine from my remote servers in a data center (I can curl the site and connect directly to port 80). No other sites are having problems that I am aware of, just this one at the moment.

Any ideas on what would cause this one site to not work correctly? Other sites work fine. And vrbo.com works fine when NOT using my business internet connection. No firewall or site blocking features are turned on for my modem.

Thanks.

Hello dillinger and welcome,

I can get to this vrbo.com website no problem. So you can connect by using vrbo.com:80, correct?

Check your firewall settings to make sure smart packet detection and staticIP port management are both disabled.

Lastly, make sure you do not have any website disablement in your FW tabs setting, too.

What Comcast Gateway model are you using?

Hope this helps out.

I have an SMCD3G-CCR modem. I just upgraded to business internet last week. Prior to this, I have had no issues accessing any sites. The weird part is that it seems to only affect some sites.

I have disabled all firewall rules in the admin screens on the modem. I have smart packet detection and statiip port management disabled. From the diagnostics page on the modem, I am able to successfully ping and traceroute to vrbo.com. But from machines connected to the network, pings and traceroutes fail. Traceroute does get outside of my network and gets about six hops, then nothing. See traceroutes below:

From internal machine:

traceroute to vrbo.com (66.179.183.15), 30 hops max, 60 byte packets

....then nothing succeeds after this one.

16 66.179.183.15 60.001 ms 60.001 ms 60.001 ms

So this one is successful.

I'm kind of baffled as to what would cause this behavior. Seems to be routed differently OUTSIDE of my network. Same thing happens for intellitxt.com. That looks like an advertiser domain that is used on tomshardware.com...it causes the pages to spin and never finish loading since those requests don't work. Same type of traceroute behavior...works from outside or from modem, but internal machines are sent via a route that doesn't complete.

I have also tried connecting my pc directly to the modem and eliminiating my own pre-existing network. Exact same behavior.

Also, since this upgrade, I have had problems with VOIP. Calls work and remote caller can usually hear outbound audio, but caller from local network can NOT hear any inbound audio. All seems related.

Any suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks for the help.

Hello dellinger,

Welcome to the forum.

I would like to add this to the conversation.

1. Have you try a traceroute test using a machine that was never a part your original network?

- Directly connected to the IP-Gateway.

2. Do you know when this started?

Thank you

VBSSP-RICH,

Thank you kindly for your post as always!
