Hey all,

I have had trouble connecting to certain websites today. It seems to only be larger sites, and I think that its possibly the way their sites are scripted, I cannot connect to them in either Firefox or Safari.

So pretty much, I tried to log onto facebook today and the startup page wouldn't load. Thinking that I had lost connection I restarted my airport, and then my router but neither had any effect. I went to check some of my bookmarks of blogs, etc. and they all worked, but Facebook still wasn't opening. I tried to open cnn, and aol to see if it was maybe something with the larger websites, knowing that CNN and aol both have interactive homepages. AOL didn't load either. (CNN did) I tried to check my adobe flash version thinking that maybe my flash script was down, but I can't get onto adobe's website either. I usually use firefox, and thinking that it was a Ffox problem, I opened up safari and had the same issue.

Looking further, the websites seemed to be stuck on something similar.
Facebook's status read "connecting to b.static.ak.fbcdn.net"
and Aol's read "connecting to o.aolcdn.com"

Any ideas?


Edit: After a while, the facebook page opened in a very basic text only version, when I tried to sign in it told me that I needed to enable cookies, but they are already enabled. I disabled and re-enabled them, and nothings happened.
