So my home network consists of about 25+ devices connected both via wifi and wires. My router (Netgear Nighthawk R7000 ) acts up from time to time so I decided to reboot it. It rebooted and all is fine except that my wife machine (wired directly to the router) refused to connect to one website. It says it is unreachable. The website is accessible from all other machines however. I can't ping the website from the command prompt in this specific machine, however I can ping its ip address. When I fired my VPN service I was able to get into the website. Turned it off, no go! I checked the hosts file, nothing strange there. I thought this is too weird, that's why I'm putting in here.
Anyways, I decided to reboot the router again. Waited few minutes, checked again with the machine in question and the problem is gone. What gives!
