O.P. Webpages not opening
I'm having the weirdest problem ever... certain pages simply don't want to open... I use Firefox (same problem with IE) and when i try to open some pages it starts to load... but never finds it and gives me the error saying:

The operation  timed out when attempting to contact [webpage]

Now i asked some friends to check out these pages and they work fine for them... why!?

here try it:

http://www.shadysideinn.com/

That doesn't work for me but works for other people. And this is only and example... The same thing happened yesterday with this forum and other sites...

I opened my hosts file and took out EVERYTHING (kept a copy) but same thing. I also opened SpywareBlaster and stopped all protection but still nothing (i had a similar probably with an ad page that was solved by doing the above two things....  but not this time)

This is very urgent... any ideas?

not sure what a proxy is but its a similar problem. i think it was a problem on my ISP's side... i usually connect at 1.1 meg/s and lately it's been slower... i was kicked offline and when i got on it was 1.1 and they worked fine... hopefully it'll stay like this :(

* Maniac prays

edit: ok this just rocks... got kicked offline again... got back... not working


:'(

Definately sounds like an ISP problem. Phone them up and tell them to get their act together ;)
