    Some servers will block specific IP's that are suspected of being bots in DDos attacks. If your PC has been acting strange in the past few months, or you think you may have a "virus", then that could be it.

    Also look under your list of blocked sites in Internet Explorer by going into Tools--->Internet Options--->Privacy--->Sites (just look for those keywords).

    I've been getting those connection has timed out several times a day for over a month in Firefox. I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling to no avail. I think it's probably my ISP, but not for sure.
