Okay so heres the problem...

I play on a gameserver and it recently changed ips. Its new one is 67.228.245.0(:27015) The trouble I am having is that I cannot connect to that ip. I try to add it to my steam favourites but I get "The server is not responding." I then looked on game monitor and the server is up. (http://www.game-monitor.com/search.p...28.245.0:27015 (http://www.game-monitor.com/search.php?search=67.228.245.0:27015))

I then decided to ping the ip through cmd and recieved timeouts so its as if my internet just can't get anything from the server/ip. I checked with the owner of the server to see if I was ip banned and I wasn't so I'm really confused why the ip won't work for me but works for everyone else. Another server of theirs has the ip 67.228.245.1:27015 and I can connect to that fine so here is my conclusion and question.

Is it possible that I am having problems because the ip ends with 0? Could something on my computer be blocking the ip because it has 0 at the end?

thanks to anyone who can help me out and know what their talking about. Btw I have a router and have tried disabling my firewall and av

can you even get a xxx.xxx.xxx.0 ?

Yes, of course you can, but data centres don't normally give them out to clients. They usually use them on their internal kit.

If it really that much of a problem then in cmd run: tracert 67.228.245.0

Post the result here and we should be able to find where the problem lies.
