Hello, I've been having problems connecting to www.fanfiction.net for almost three days already and I cannot find what might be the cause. I haven't altered my internet settings or anything so I'm really baffled by it. I tried checking the same site from other PCs (at our school) and it works just fine. I'm using Firefox as a browser and even if I launch my Internet Explorer, it still doesn't show up.

Firefox always shows this message to me:

The connection has timed out

The server at www.fanfiction.net is taking too long to respond.

* The site could be temporarily unavailable or too busy. Try again in a few
moments.

* If you are unable to load any pages, check your computer's network
connection.

* If your computer or network is protected by a firewall or proxy, make sure
that Firefox is permitted to access the Web.


Please help me, I'm starting to get frustrated over this.

I think I'm particularly having difficulties with fiction sites. I cannot connect to http://slash.boywholived.com also
