i can navigate to all other sites except linkedin.com or subpages. the error shown is: Page Load Error - Network Timeout "The server at linkedin.com is taking too long to respond." Another PC we have accesses linkedin.com just fine. completed virus scan with nothing found. really bizarre. PC new past few months. Windows XP. Mozilla FireFox. Tried on IE. Have accessed LinkedIn from this PC in the past few weeks. Uninstalled recently added standard type programs used for playing video and a web seminar - all seeming standard stuff. Another version of the failure reports: "Connection Interrupted - The connection to the server was reset while the page was loading. - The network link was interrupted while negotiating a connection. Please try again." Neither Restart nor Shutdown has solved the problem. As another tangential check, I can connect to LinkedIn on the same PC through a remote connection to another PC, so that other PC is really the interface with LinkedIn. The problem is between my PC connection and LinkedIn, tho I cannot find anything from my end that would be blocking, and I wonder from the timeout error notices if it's possible LinkedIn is not accepting my PC's connection.
