No! What I suggested should not effect traffic from other servers. I would go with Gabriel's suggestion and check for open connections just in case. Although I can't imagine why that would give you a 404 response since it is a server response (implies successful connection). I would expect that you would get a client error in such a case. Of course, you can always rule out your suspicions of local conditions (turn off security software briefly or try from a different machine) unless your ISP is implementing safeguards against DOS attacks from their network with normal users in mind.
