Default O.T. - Connection Problem:

Since I cannot reach the site with the
link given I get the yellow triangle
with black exclamation mark.

I downloaded the latest driver for Nvidia
version 368.81 then required me to re-start
the computer and it came back with the yellow
triangle with black exclamation point.

Install of the driver looks good. I would
not expect an NVIdia video card driver to
affect network status. Unless it installed
some disruptive helper libraries.

How many Firewalls do you have ? The Windows
Firewall might be turned on. Maybe Avast has
a Firewall ?

There is a proxy check here, to see if you
are directing queries through a proxy, rather
than directly to the Internet.

IP 22.33.44.55 --- I'm on IPV4
rDNS FALSE
WIMIA Test FALSE
Tor Test FALSE
Loc Test FALSE
Header Test FALSE
DNSBL Test FALSE

I have no idea what any of those are, but the
first step is looking for an anomaly.
