I've been going to http://www.deviantart.com for almost 2 years now and do business/social stuff through there, and I've never had a problem with the site until now.
About four days ago I left town and when I came back I did the usual, hooked up my laptop, downloaded updates, and went to check my mail. It worked fine that morning, got to deviantart and everything. Then for some reason during the middle of the day my net connection went wacky and I started disconnecting every few minutes, MSN messenger, online games, nothing worked very long because my internet kept resetting. Then when I tried to go wifi my laptop decided to not see the router. I finally found the router's problem and downloaded a couple updates, but the internet is still being wacky. And now for some reason it can't connect to Deviantart. I can still access any other webpage, just slower because my net keeps disconnecting, just not deviantart. I get the following error:
The connection has timed out
The server at www.deviantart.com is taking too long to respond.
* The site could be temporarily unavailable or too busy. Try again in a few moments.
* If you are unable to load any pages, check your computer's network connection.
* If your computer or network is protected by a firewall or proxy, make sure that Firefox is permitted to access the Web.
Even other parts of deviantart such as profiles or journals get the same error. I can't even access the site through a proxy. I've tried disabling my anti-virus, turning off my firewall, deleting cookies and cache, nothing is working. I looked up on the net and found several people who had my problem, but no kind of answers that helped. I thought maybe it was the browser doing it, but Internet Explorer and Opera give me the same errors. My friends however can still go to the site, so the site isn't down or anything.
My desktop is doing it to, just for this one site.
Any help you could give would be appreciated, I am expecting information about a job through that site and need to get in touch with the people, so I need as fast a fix as possible!
Also, if you can help with why my internet keeps being wacky I would love you!
