Ok, so what's up with this?
So I've been trying to access the Boston Craigslist (I posted a few days ago about how I couldn't connect to it, despite every other DUer having access), and my roommates can access it from their laptops. I can't.
I switched to FireFox thinking maybe IE was being the POS it is, and I STILL can't connect- "connection refused when trying to connect to boston.craigslist.org"
WTF is this shit? It's JUST my fucking computer that is doing this.
I need to access Craigslist to find housing dammit x(
ANYONE out there with even a suggestion...? This is weird.

3. almost exact same
We're in the same room, 4 different ISP addresses, but SAME university connection.
I know, it's freakin' WEIRD.

7. make sure your security settings are moderate
as in, just SSL 2.0 instead of 2.0 and 3.0 and TLS 1.0, etc...
too much overkill kills a connection
