No, that doesn't help. I don't see anything in my DD-WRT router
filters that would account for it and this has always worked. My ISP
tech support, Wildblue, denies they filter anything, however I know
that I get very little spam so I have little confidence in that denial.
I remember subscribing to something at Opendns that I paid for and
believe that they can filter also.
I don't want to start disabling stuff at random simply because one
site is blocked ... However I did disable IPv6 as you suggested.
Isn't there a scheme for running Firefox with all the add-ons
disabled? I haven't been able to find anything there and I haven't
changed any recently.
Thanks for the suggestions,
Did you try....
