But the OP was getting an error on a particular IP address and on http
traffic and the error was not 'cant see the server'

This is terribly reminiscent of 'T' who asks seemingly noob questions
that everyone tries to answer and then says 'oh I fixed it'  and then
either says he used the method that the very first poster suggested, and
which he denied worked, or comes up with a meaningless
explanation...like this.
