I cannot connect to one website via HTTP or HTTPS - www.discover.com. After
installing SP1, I can no longer connect to this one website. I have Zone
Alarm along with Vista's built in firewall installed, and there is a firewall
build in to the 2 wire DSL router I have. Antivirus is Symantec antivirus
10.2.0.276. Windows defender is also installed. I've diabled all firewalls
and antivirus and setup a DMZ on the router and still cannot connect. When I
try to connect in IE, it gives the error page:
res://ieframe.dll/dnserror.htm#http://www.discover.com/ which seems to
indicate either a DNS or a firewall error. Running Vista's diagnostic tests
says that port 80 or 443 is being blocked, but with all firewalls off, I
can't imagine by what. I've installed virtual pc and installed xp with sp2 on
the virtual pc and that is able to connect through vista to that website. Via
a XP SP2 laptop on the local LAN i'm also able to connect. I've tried to
uninstall and reinstall the NIC. The machine has a PCI wireless card and
using that it is also not able to connect. I've tired to use my cellular
provider for dial-up access and that also did not work. I've tired safe mode
with networking and still no luck. Of course all other sites are normal. I've
tried resetting IE settings, adding the site to the trusted sites, running
with no add-ons, all with no luck. I've messed with the security settings as
suggested in some threads and no luck. I've also tried Opera, Firefox, and
Safari and none of them can connect either. There is no proxy setup either.
I've reset the IP and Winsock ( ipconfig /flushdns, /renew, netsh int ip
reset, netsh winsock reset, etc) and nothing helps. When I try to ping the
site, it works fine:

I've run spyware / antivirus scans along with hijackthis and nothing has
turned up. Short of uninstalling SP1, I have done everything that I can think
of. Since this is the only website I cannot connect to, there must be
something burried in Vista that is blocking it, but I do not know what that
could be. I don't know if I stated it earler, but I have not problem
connecting to other websites on port 80 or 443, just discover.com. Trying to
connect from search engine results also does not work, for what it's worth. I
also have attempted to change the DNS servers to OpenDNS servers, but that
did not help. I have Cisco VPN on the machine and am able to connect to my
work, but even then I cannot navigate to discover.com. I was able to go to
discover.com prior to SP1 and it was working normally.
I'm not exactly new to computers, but this one has me stumped. Any ideas?
