1189317 2011-03-25 11:54:00 Sometimes i can load their home page, but if i try to access anything else, it times out.

Tried the host file fix from microsoft, still the same problem.

1189318 2011-03-25 21:19:00 For example this morning i could access the home page and their march madness page. But after that, their site just started timing for me again...just getting a blank page now. Question (15792)
1189319 2011-03-25 21:42:00 Download Firefox portable and try getting onto the site, do not load any add-ons, post back the result.

portableapps.com

Put the portable folder on the desktop, this will not interfere with your present installation of Firefox but you cannot run them at the same time.

If you can get onto the site then your present installation of Firefox has something blocking it if you can't then your computer is blocking the site somehow, I suspect SpyBot.

Considering that IE, Opera and Firefox all fail to load the site for any extended period of time, its probably something else...

Is there any way to check spybot's immunization list?

1189322 2011-03-25 22:07:00 Just unimmunized pretty much everything, still wont load in firefox.

Rod, are you able to access more than just the home page? Try clicking on a few of the links for example.

Are you sure your ISP does not have the site on a blacklist?

1189324 2011-03-25 22:31:00 Just a thought - Are you running through your ISP's full setting, and not Via some third party, Eg: Open DNS ? wainuitech (129)
1189325 2011-03-25 22:50:00 ISP blacklist doesnt make sense...im using telstra here and even back in singapore it wouldnt work with my singapore ISP.

Im just using default settings on my laptop, so no open DNS.
