I am trying to visit a web site and i keep receiving the message that my web browser can not connect to the server of the website. i can connect with all the other web sites i go to except this one. This following message is the only one that applies to my problem but i dont know how to fix it. Is your computer or network protected by a firewall or proxy? Incorrect settings can interfere with Web browsing. PLEASE HELP

What's the site? Maybe we can't connect either. Did you try another browser or another machine?
