I tried firefox and incognito mode in Chrome. Suddenly, when I try to browse to https://www.dell.com/ I get:
Access DeniedYou don't have permission to access "http://www.dell.com/" on this server.Reference #18.c36d817.1664490409.3a9c58ae
Since I'm in incognito mode, your website denies me according to my ip address??
(I'm posting this message from a different place.)

Incognito mode doesn't do what you think it does -- it merely hides your visit from another user on the same system. It has nothing to do with your IP address or the server.
Are you using a security suite with a proxy server (McAfee, Norton, etc.)?

Incognito means that there are no cookies, and the website can't identify me except using my IP.
No, I don't have any security suite.
It worked fine before that, and now suddenly it works fine again.
It's the first time I get such a behavior from a website.

That's not what incognito mode means.
And it could very easily have been a transient error on one of Dell's webservers.
