can't access this particular site

Hopefully this is the correct forum for this - otherwise please feel free to move.
I can't access this (and only this) particular web site (www.jekran.com) - I just get "Unable to connect - Firefox can't establish a connection to the server at www.jekran.com". This has been the case now since I first tried to access it about a month ago.
It's an engineering site so don't be shy of trying to see if you can access it. I have no other problems i.e. I can access any/every other site I want.
The owner assures me it's
a) up
b) he can access it ok
c) not giving anyone else problems (not sure how he knows this)
I'm on XP and I've tried...
a) flushing the DNS cache
b) changing from "Obtaining DNS server address automatically" to Googles 8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4
No joy - (I'm now back to auto DNS)
Any ideas? / need more info?
Thanks

Re: can't access this particular site

Seems OK to me, using Ubuntu + Firefox
I wonder if your router MTU is set too high ? - as a too big MTU can cause this sort of problem !
I'm currently running router MTU=1430, and all my PC's do auto MTU path discovery.

Re: can't access this particular site

The site doesn't appear to have any problem with 1500 byte packets:
[tt]# nping -c 1 --icmp --data-length 1472 www.jekran.com
SENT (0.0347s) ICMP [192.168.0.101 > 192.232.222.255 Echo request (type=8/code=0) id=40093 seq=1] IP [ttl=64 id=42651 iplen=1500 ]
RCVD (0.2131s) ICMP [192.232.222.255 > 192.168.0.101 Echo reply (type=0/code=0) id=40093 seq=1] IP [ttl=44 id=18756 iplen=1500 ][/tt]
I could access the site.

Re: can't access this particular site

@dvorak - Thanks - at least that's independent confirmation it's up.
@purleigh - Thanks - my MTU is also 1430. Remember this is the ONE and ONLY site I can't seem to access.
@ejs - thanks - so.....
Any more ideas as to why this ONE and only this ONE site seems to be inaccessible by me?

Very messy looking TCP traceroute, although I don't think it indicates any problem, just that there are multiple routes being used:

Because I have "Obtain an IP address automatically" the subnet mask is blank under TCP/IP properties. On my router the subnet mask is similarly set to 0.0.0.0

Re: can't access this particular site

Can you post the mask and gateway listed when you type 'ipconfig' at a command prompt?
Where is the mask defined as 0.0.0.0 on the router?  WAN settings or LAN settings?  I'd expect the WAN to have a 255.255.255.255 mask and the LAN to be 255.255.255.0
What mask is defined in routers DHCP server setup?

Not sure where to find this.
BTW - Just tried on my tablet (android - dolphin browser) - times out - and on an ubuntu laptop (Firefox) - takes an age but eventually times out also - got to be the router right?

Really appreciate your help but I'm going to have to drop this until Monday - have to shoot off to the MotoGP 🙂 Hope we can continue when I return.

Re: can't access this particular site

Something appears to be blocking that particular site. As you've tried on different devices and experienced the same, that leads me to believe that your router is the probable source of this block.
Have you checked out all the functions of your router that could possibly cause this behaviour? Also what model, version and possibly firmware have you got on it?
Will await your response Monday, as I see you're away at present.
That's RPM to you!!
