Yea, I'm typing this from one of the computers at school.

Anyway, does anyone have any idea why I can't connect to the Renegeade\n00bstories from my computer at home? Everytime I try to connect to either of those places I keep getting an time out error. I am currently using Mozilla as my current browser, but I have tried IE and that doesn't work either.

WHATEVER, FAGGOT

Are you using any firewalls?

When I couldn't get to the n00bstories network Crimson accidently blocked my IP because she thought my IP was connected with the attacks on her server. You should ask her about it.

Let me know what your home IP is and I will see if its in the firewall blacklist.

Well that didn't work. Any other ideas? Or am I pretty much screwed?

I had the same problem with http://www.nitrous-oxides.net

I set up a proxy connection and when I changed computers and lost the proxy settings I suddenly noticed it had gone...

Set yourself up a proxy connection to access the forums via, that should work.

Also check your hosts file has not strangely blocked the site (as is used to block ads in http://www.renegadeforums.com/viewtopic.php?t=8734 ).
