My initial problem: why can I not access www.shorpy.com" I got two answers: 1) is there a firewall? 2) what error messages?

bold text I have WINDOWS Firewall on. I get the following messages when I attempt to reach www.shorpy.com

The connection has timed out

The server at www.shorpy.com is taking too long to respond. 

   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.
