    Default Cannot access www.safer-networking.org

    I cannot access the website. I get the following message:

    Unable to connect

    Firefox can't establish a connection to the server at www.safer-networking.org.

    * 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.

    I have the latest firefox. Any ideas?

    Thanks!

    Hi paracelcus,

    I can access the site fine using Firefox (v3.5).

    Can you access safer-networking.org with Internet Explorer?

    Regards,

    honda

    I couldn't last night (with IE 8) but it's OK again today. Probably a temporary choke on the server or somewhere along the internet.

    I couldn't access the home page nor the forums yesterday afternoon/evening with Firefox nor Opera. I didn't try IE 8. On doing a traceroute, after the 4th router, all packets were lost. Today, it's fine. I'm on RoadRunner in NW Ohio.

    I figured that it was just a local problem, due to the dropped packets. Down For Everyone or Just Me indicated that the site was up and functional.

    Exclamation Site Outage: Confirmed

    There was a problem yesterday and I'm surprised nothing has been mentioned about it on the blogs or on the forums.
    It not only affected site access to http://www.safer-networking.org/ but also the Spybot S&D Update mechanism used to fetch updates.
    The updater would just FREEZE and would fail to provide even a list of other mirrors while the site was down for hours on end.

    I couldn't connect to the Web site a few days ago. :(
