Hi, I have been having, for a week or two, the weirdest problem ever. Let's say I try to follow a link in PCWorlds newsletter, I then get an error message saying:

"Connection Failed. Firefox cannot connect to the server at Reviews and News on Tech Products, Software and Downloads - PC World.

- The site may be temporarily down, try again etc. etc.

The message comes up immediately, no trying with subsequent time-out, just bang - head against the wall.

Same difference with Internet Explorer.

The weird thing is that it's only PCWorld.com I cannot connect to, all other sites (this one, for instance) work fine.

I just can't remember what I might have done to exclude myself from PCWorld.

Can anybody out there guess what's the matter?

Thank you!
