This site can’t be reached The connection was reset error message.
I have come across one website I cannot reach. It is https://www.treasurydirect.gov The error message happens with a PC connected directly to the modem (HT2000W) on Internet Explorer, Chrome and...
Works fine here, took ages to connect, but it worked, you may want to try disabling Web Acceleration to see if that helps.
Please follow the directions below to disable Web-Acceleration.
1: Visit http://192.168.0.1 in your web-browser.
2: Click the "i" icon at the top of the HT1100/2000w System Control Center (also known as the SCC). It is highlighted in red in the image below.
3: Click on "Web Acceleration" then "Control" outlined in red.
4: Click on "Web Acceleration Enabled", this will change to an orange button that says "Web Acceleration Disabled".
5: Restart your browser and try using the service that isn't working, please let us know how that works for you.
It's still a no go for me, though I don't use the site. Still does the same thing as before, giving me a "This site can't be reached" message.
I still (1/13/18) can't access treasurydirect.gov either. Doesn't matter whether acceleration is disabled or not. This sort of thing happened one day even with amazon.com (same message), but only on the MS Edge browser; worked with Explorer. The next day it worked with both.
