i am using airport to access the internet. i am sharing the wireless with the friend downstairs, and the main wireless box is hooked to his computer. it is linsys. for the past few weeks, i cannot access certain sites that before i could. i think perhaps the neighbour is also tapped into this wireless and maybe they put a security on certain things due to young children. is this possible?

i can access one of the sites, but not my email on it (care2.com)

the other site is entirely impossible to access (skeletonkey.net)

my friend tried on his computer and could not access either. i have tried getting to these sites from other servers and they are there. so it is just here.

i am using mozilla firefox to access the web. i tried with safari as well as explorer, i checked all my settings, i deleted cookies.

the message i receive after a few minutes is as follows...

The connection was reset

The connection to the server was reset while the page was loading.
* The site could be temporarily unavailable or too busy. Try again in a few moments.

* If you are unable to load any pages,check your computer's network connection.

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