Hi geeks, please could someone explain this.
Suddenly about 20 minutes ago the TV went blank, an IPTV stream I was watching was interrupted. No service. Checking what's happened I noticed that I have no internet access except that the Eight Forums website and all its pages open normally. Really: I could and can access Eight Forums totally normally from this computer but not a single site except that, and both our Finnish and German IPTV do not work. No signal.
I made a short video of this but as the Eight Forums has a 2 MB upload file size limit and the file is almost 30 MB, I'd rather wait until I get access to YouTube and upload it later than zip and split it and post several zip files here.
I repeat: www.eightforums.com works (I can post here!) on this computer as if there never was an issue. Not a cached version, the site really works and pages refresh. No other website works, not a single one, nor does Eight Forums work on other devices. Both IPTV boxes get no signal.
Router and repeaters reseted a couple of times, always the same: I can access this forum from this computer, no other websites from any other devices. Internal network works fine. All computers showing they have Internet access with every enabled NIC.
I always knew The Eight Forums has magic but this really makes me wonder
. I'm obviously online as you can see I'm posting here but this is the only site that works.

EDIT: As suddenly as the connection was lost, it was back after lasting a bit over 30 minutes. Here's the video to show Eight Forums working when all other sites gave Unable to Resolve Domain Name Error 105:
