Question owner
Yes I do get an error message. I have logged on to the website from another laptop and I can. The error message I am getting are below. Unable to connect
Firefox can't establish a connection to the server at www.aolmi.org. 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.
Did you try to clear the cache?
You can also try to reset (power off/on) the router.
