Unable to Upload media or Update pages on my computer only

  • Hi All,
    Thanks in advance for any help.

    Problem:
    Starting a couple of weeks ago, I can no longer update pages or upload media from my computer at home. I either get a 408 timeout or “connection reset” in Firefox. The problem seemed to appear after updating to 4.5.3. Everything else works fine in the admin, and other computers on my home network such as my phone and my wife’s computer can update and upload with no issues. I am also unable to connect to my site via FTP from my computer. I have another WordPress site and I can update and connect to it just fine.
    Site in question URL is https://www.purchaseear.com

    What I’ve tried:
    Wordpress: disabled all plugins (no change)
    Browser: changed browser, cleared cache, reset browser
    Computer: flushed DNS, changed IP address, reset router and modem systematically, virus scan, Malwarebytes scan, made double sure that all firewalls were off both on PC and router, nothing is being blocked.
    Server host: went through tech support with GoDaddy, confirmed nothing was wrong with server
    ISP: went through tech support with Comcast, traffic passing normally

    Other Notes: when I do a tracert to the server, I show 4 timeouts on the way there. They are consistent and still there even from other computers on my network. Could just be the trace packets being disregarded.

    I’m not sure how much more detailed I can be. Thanks for anyone who tried to help.

    It looks like something has changed in your computer. I think you would all have the same IP address so you can’t be blocked there.

    I agree that the problem is my computer, but what could possibly be preventing me from uploading files or commiting an edit?

    I’ve changed browsers, completely reset my browser, there’s nothing blocking anything. I just don’t get it. I’m pulling my hair out.
