I have tried changing proxie settings as well as my firewall. I have also unistalled firefix and reinstalled it but that also didnt work. Is there any other options I can try?

If you are using Firefox 3.6.6 or above, a new preference was added to the Connection Settings proxy preferences in Tools > Options > Advanced >> Network tab - Connection = Settings = Use system proxy settings

The default setting is for Use system proxy settings, which can prevent LAN connections from being made, like you experienced. AFAIK, it can affect almost any local network device that you interface with using a local IP address, like routers, NAS devices, and such.

If you select No proxy and restart Firefox your problem should be fixed.
