Firefox: Network Timeout

[Abhinav Srivastava]

It seems firefox is not able to open Javaranch, though IE works fine. I am able to open other websites using FF.

Network Timeout
The server at www.javaranch.com is taking too long to respond.

The requested site did not respond to a connection request and the browser has stopped waiting for a reply.

* Could the server be experiencing high demand or a temporary outage? Try again later.
* Are you unable to browse other sites? Check the computer's network connection.
* Is your computer or network protected by a firewall or proxy? Incorrect settings can interfere with Web browsing.
* Still having trouble? Consult your network administrator or Internet provider for assistance.

Lots of other folks are using Firefox just fine, including me. Try the usual suspects (clearing the cache, rebooting, etc), and then talking to your local network/desktop admin person.
