Re: [LINUX_Newbies] Re: can't get certain websites

I thought at first that I had set my FF settings so that it did not allow
enough time, but Phoronix and Guardian links come up immediately with the
error message. Unixmen does take a bit, but eventually comes up with the
same error. Then I tried it in Chromium with the same result. Then I tried
Safari in Wine. Same. Then I tried FF in XP VM. Same. I went to my wife's
computer with Mint 10 and XP. Same result there. Lastly I tried my netbook
with Ubuntu 10.10 and XP. Got nowhere.

I think that it must be my ISP. I am still looking into that. It can't be my
computer when I have tried three computers, three different OSes and several
browsers all with the same result. I have a neighbour with an insecure
connection, but his signal is weak today. When it picks up I will try his
internet which uses a different provider. If it does not work there, then I
am flummoxed.
