MacOS – Cannot connect to specific website since OSX Mountain Lion install

internetmacosNetworkweb-browsing

I just installed Mountain Lion and everything is working pretty well except I can't connect to adobe.com. I can not connect on any of the browsers (firefox, chrome, safari). i can access the website on my other mac and my pc.

I've tried:
Adding a New Network Location & Renew DHCP.
Changing my MTU to 1453
Clearing my SystemConfiguration of Preference Files.

I don't know what to do. I can't install the adobe suite that i just bought because I can't access the website to authenticate it.

Please please help me, im desperate.

Some 'cracked' apps change the /etc/hosts files so apps cannot connect to their servers to verify the credential or serials.

It looks like that could be your case.

Can you check: sudo cat /etc/hosts from Terminal and check if any Adobe hostname is listed there?

If so, you have installed a cracked Adobe app.
