Web problem -The connection has timed out

What's happening? There were only 18 users on when I got this message....
Unable to connect

Firefox can't establish a connection to the server at amdusers.com.

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

Surely not this one too!?

It must have been a couple of times them...because when I woke up this morning and tried to get in to reply...it was the same message! It seems ok now though! Phew!

Dee, you mentioned Nvidia. do you have Nvidia web based interface version? i think its awful and have the firewall turned off there.

Give this guy a prize!!!
I can see PCWORLD!! In the UK!!


It was the Nvidea firewall...set for anti hackers only...in the end I went through all my firewalls, turning them off and checking the PCW site, then turned them back on again, one at a time....until I got to the Nvidea one...when it worked! So I checked I can visit no matter which browser I use...and I can!! Thanks guys...all of you! I am so pleased the problem is solved....and I've learnt a bit more about how it happens too!
Oh...and I've pressed the red button for all of you!

[NVM]

lol...good for you.

[Dee]

Thanks NVM! My only worry now is - are 3 firewalls enough?

I tried...but Firefox wouldn't let me...so I thought..p'rhaps not!

[Dee]

Oh...I don't believe it...they've closed the site for maintenance!!!!
Do you think I should tell them it was my fault?
