Hello? Am I Home?

Is anyone else having trouble getting to my main page? I can FTP, but I can't seem to raise it on the web. No, I'm not trying to generate hits -- I geniunely can't get to the stupid page. Not in Firefox, not in IE, not in Opera.

Update: Okay, this is getting weird. All of you can get it, but I can't...? It doesn't seem to matter which browser I use, the firewall's properly configured, Adblock can be disabled or not...?

Dubya. Tee. Eff.

Update 2: Okay, obviously something is deeply wrong on my end. Fine. I was gonna begin the annual back-up in anticipation of the annual system purge (x2, now with laptop!) and I'll either nail this or just start over. (Have to try the laptop on this connection, and see if it's the connection or the desktop config....) Thanks, all.

Update 3: It's something on this machine. The laptop, using the WiFi, gets through just fine. (Although something's screwed up with Firefox on that one, so I'm gonna reinstall it anyway.) Time to go digging through the firewall config....

Update 4: Good news and bad news. I think I nailed it -- it's a plug-in, specifically the Adblock Filterset G that nukes a lot of Flash-based ads. The newest version, both on the desktop and the laptop, also nukes TSO. The problem is that I can't seem to uninstall or reconfigure it. I'll have to go digging, and right now I have errands to run, so it waits until this afternoon. Sigh. Friggin' tech.

Rather Pissed At Firefox

Okay, now I'm getting cranky.

I'm not sure what the hell it is, but neither of my computers can get to TSO, with any program, no matter what I do. Uninstall, reinstall, strip the registries... phuque. All because I took advantage of the new versions of things.

This is exactly why I don't use MS Audo Update. Stupid me, I trusted Firefox... and their various plug-in programmers. And now I can't reach my own goddamn web page. And I know Firefox is part of the cause-and-effect chain because I was, briefly, able to get to TSO on the laptop, and it showed the revision I put up this morning... and then I updated my plug-ins and pfffft.

Anybody got any ideas? I understand I have a web page out there.

Update: Many thanks for all the help. I completely shut down everything, and now I seem to have TSO back at last on both computers. Phew. Now all I've gotta do is frickin' reinstall my plugins....

... and Adblock and Filterset.G both work without keeping me from TSO. Ah-yup, it was a network problem. Again, phew. Thanks, guys.
