Can't Access Forum from Home
I have been participating in these forums for a couple of years now, and this past Saturday, I was unable to access the forum from my home computer.
I can access the forums from my office, and while at home I can remote into a computer at a site where I do contract work and access the forum, but my home location won't work. I get a message that the forums are either unavailable or moved (but I know they aren't).
I've called my internet provider and they have not been able to find any issues with their system. I am not having problems with ANY other site, just hdforums.com

Most likely it went on a Blocked list or even Disabled Cookies list from the computer your having issues with.
Easiest thing to try is another browser . I normally have both Chrome and Firefox Open so it's easy for me to see if it's a browser issue.
Now you can go into Options and see if it's on one of the list but they are hard to poke around in sometimes . You can also clear those list completely. Now once you do any of those things reboot the computer so it just doesn't go back on the list as it will still be looking for it.

I have tried Explorer 8, Google Chrome, and Firefox and cannot open this forum at all on the laptop. I always get a diagnose connection error when accessing this site, but never on anything else. Any Ideas?

You probably have cached an old IP address for the forum I bet.
Click Start>Run then type CMD and press enter. In the new window that appears type "ipconfig /flushdns" without the quotes and press enter then close the window and try launching explorer and going to the site.
Let me know how it goes!

Ok, I may have located the issue, I just don't know what to do about it. It seems that the IP address through ADSENSE is the issue. There are about 40 sites that use this IP address and I cannot open any of them on the laptop. Here is what I found
"Hdforums.com is the 71,129th most visited site on the internet. The top incoming anchor texts for hdforums.com are Harley Davidson Forum and www.hdforums.com. There are 2 homepages that link to a page on hdforums.com, 1 of which is a two-way reciprocal link between domains. The homepage of hdforums.com links out to 3 other websites. There are 41 other websites sharing the same adsense account as hdforums.com. The website's IP address is 67.201.16.243, and there are 34 other websites hosted at the same IP address. Hdforums.com attempts to set one cookie named BIGipServerAFUWEB_www_pool. Hdforums.com gets about 15,385 pageviews per day, and earns an estimated $46.16 daily. The server location of hdforums.com is El Segundo, CA, United States (US )."
I cannot open any of these sites, HELP!!!
