Yeah, I have a odd sort of problem.

-I cannot access Neofreaks (A forum), Slopdog (A forum), worth1000, youtube etc
-But I can access This website(obviously), google, myspace, yahoo etc.

I can sign onto AIM, but not MSN messenger.

I have no idea what is the matter with my computer/network. When I try to sign into MSN messenger I get the error code "80072efd". I troubleshoot it, and everything seems to be in order except "KEY PORTS"

When I try to repair it is says
"Failed to connect to service. This could be due to improper firewall or proxy settings. Please review your proxy and firewall settings. ..blahblahblah."

Naturally I've removed my firewall, and checked if I had any proxies on any browsers. I do not.

I've tried going to one of the websites that do not work, on my sister's laptop and her computer says the same thing.
(Connection timed out)

I'ved reset my modem, computer, IP address (didn't work, but I tried to change it :P) and repaired my internet connection many times.
