Fudzilla.com blocked from my computer only

Yes, I get the generic error message. I have also tried to connect by IP and it doesn't work either.

I have the impression that the website is blocking me. That is why I would like to find a way to force my IP address to change.

Gotcha. I assume you're using a router, so changing the IP Address on your computer itself wouldn't do any good. You need to get the WAN IP Address on your router to change.

Not sure what you're using, but in Linksys routers, you can change the MAC address on the WAN side. When you release / renew the address, you should get a different one. You may want to document the existing MAC address just in case......

I'm not using a router. Cable modem is plugged directly into the computer's integrated network card.

Consideration, try OpenDNS,

• Use OpenDNS

I hope you're using a firewall (I believe AVG Free is strictly antivirus / spyware).

If you shut your computer off for an extended period, you might get a new IP Address (most ISPs have a 24 hour DHCP lease time).

There's a chance your network card has a configurable MAC. Go to the properties of the NIC and see.

Other than that (meaning without spending money on a new NIC or router), you're pretty much stuck with your current IP Address.

TropicalBound, I use Windows Firewall. I have already looked in there to see if there was a problem. First, I'll try unplugging the cable modem for 24 hours and see if I get a new IP. I have looked into the Network card properties and don't see anything about configurable MAC. (It's integrated on the mobo)

Shinma, I will try OpenDNS if I can't get a new IP.

Update: The problem solved itself when my IP was changed by my ISP. I don't have a static IP, and from time to time (weeks...months...), the IP address changes.

I tried OpenDNS and could connect to fudzilla.com. I thought that had done it, but it was probably the new IP address.
