Okay, this is really wierd

So, I can't read the webcomic User Friendly at home. For some reason, it takes so long to try and get to the site that Firefox just gives up. (And yes, I tried using IE too. It just sits there. Twiddling its thumbs.)

What's wierd is that I can get to User Friendly at work. Work. Where a great number of sites are blocked, or rendered less then useful because if I can get to them, I can't log in. (Obviously, LJ is not one of those sites. Yet.)

Anyone have any thoughts on this? Please note, at home, I can browse to any other site that I want to go to. It's only User Friendly that is causing this problem.

1) Run a ping to www.userfriendly.org
2) Run a traceroute
3) Check to see if you somehow added it to your 'prohibited' sites for your browsers
4) Run a good virus scan
5) Run Ad-aware and Spybot S&D

ping times out.
traceroute gets 14 hops into it and times out.
it's not prohibited because I was just able to check it last weekend and I haven't messed with any of the settings since then.

Can't see it being a virus, as my anti-virus should have caught it (and if it was, it's odd that it would only affect me browsing to User Friendly, eh?)

I'll try Spybot and Ad-Aware in a bit. It's been a few days since I've run them last.
