Could my browser be playing God??!

[Joy]

I have enjoyed visiting a favorite site for several
months. Suddenly, I cannot access it anymore. I recieve
a "Gateway Timeout" "Server unreachable" "Please contact
the adminisrator" I have tried to get to this sight many
different ways, but to no avail. I have never encountered
this EVER with my browser. Did the site kick me off? I
couldn't imagine why?

Thanks for your input,

J

the site is probably broken . site did not respond in a
timely manner.

I thought of this, too. But other have been able to access
it. Any other idea's? I'm stumped! Is there a way to check
if a site is "broken"?

It may be a HOSTS file problem.
Look also for a file named HOSTS (no extension, could be hidden) rename it
OLDHOSTS.
