How are you connected to the internet?
Modem -> Wireless Nat Router -> PCs...nothing special.
You're not connecting directly using different ip addresses or something like that? (Just trying to think why the same machine would be treated differently under different environments.)
Same IP address. Its really strange because I was able to get to ultimate from a public proxy server. That can only mean that some hop along the way from my ISP to his ISP is blocking/dropping packets. At the same time, I doubt that a fc5 box has a drastically different TCP stack or issues different packets, so it has to be a fairly smart hop (ie: router) thats dropping packets.
Just so you know, I dont get a 404 or a request timed out. The domain name resolves to the correct IP and the browser just waits for a reply from the server. I think I found someone that can take a look both firewalls and tell me whats going on. Its so frustrating not being able to access the ultimate forums. I generally have the forums open in one of my tabs and I check it every 5 minutes or so. Right now I cant function properly cause that tab never loads!!
