Using a Thinkpad 520 laptop running Windows 7 Pro (32 bit) with WebRoot antivirus I cannot open one specific web site: https://remote.viha.ca . Tried with Seamonkey, Internet Explorer and Google Chrome browsers with same result. The Seamonkey browser says it has connected with the web site but times out with a message saying the network connection was interrupted. I can however open the website using an old Thinkpad 30 running XP and AVG antivirus.
I would appreciate ideas on how to fix this.

cannot open specific web site

My goodness! What an interesting discussion I started. Here is the latest from my efforts. I scoured Google for others who have had a similar problem opening a specific web site. I came across one thread in which a person recommended changing the MAC address of one's router. I tried that and now I can access remote.viha.ca using Chrome and IE (slower connecting than Chrome) but not Seamonkey.
Here is the link to the site where changing the MAC address is recommended and the rationale:

How curious it all is!
Thanks to all who made suggestions. I tried them all but only the MAC address change worked.
