Q: Is Verizon FiOS blocking traffic from Windows?
A: No.
Ask yourself which is more likely: that a major ISP is blocking traffic from the dominant operating system, or that you've configured something incorrectly?

I have checked all the configs - remember it work fine when I switch my ISP over to my cell phone from FiOS. I am not implying a conspiracy - just trying to get a solution
I can tell you with almost 100% certainty that it has nothing to do with compatibility between Windows and FiOS.
I'm guessing you configured your VPN correctly inside of Windows...right?

Yes, I can get to every other URL I tried that is inside the firewall, including other similar servers
So, I think it is a VMWare issue and boot up my ThinkPad running Windows 7 natively. Same problem - I cannot connect to that server. I try it from Firefox, Chrome and IE. No luck.
I decide to take it one step further. I fire up the hotspot on my cell phone (coincidently also Verizon) and reconnect the VPN. Wonders - I can connect to the server. From all browsers on all three OS instances - Mac OS, Win 7 in a VM on the Mac and Win 7 native - no issues at all.
What do you think is going on here? Is Verizon FiOS or the router issued by them blocking (some) traffic from Windows 7 machines? Any ideas what may be the issue here and how can I fix it?
