I am trying to access channelsurfing.net but I get this error; The connection has timed out







The server at channelsurfing.net 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.

I can access this site from my PC using the exact same firefox. I tried to clear cookies and cache and still nothing.

OK I tried that and still have the problem. I am using windows 7 if that helps. And yes I have windows 7 on the pc where I can access the webpage with no problems.
