Ok well about 3 or 4 days ago I started having a problem with Firefox not wanting to connect to some sites. I'm running Windows 7 and I'm using FF 5.0. Whenever i try going to one of these sites, using clubnintendo as an example, i get the message "Unable to connect: Firefox can't establish a connection to the server at club.nintendo.com."

I have tried turning off my virus protection which is Norton 360, I've made an exception for FF in its firewall and windows firewall with no avail.

I have tried using IE and Chrome but get the similar results. Any idea what is causing this and how I may fix it?

I read through there earlier and tried the stuff and non of it worked. I restarted my laptop, which I had already tried, and it's working fine again as far as I know of. The sites I was trying at the time are loading now.

Edit: Turns out now some other sites that were loading aren't loading correctly now but the ones that weren't are.

Unable to connect 


          Firefox can't establish a connection to the server at _____.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.


The _____.org just being an example. The thing is, as I stated, It was different sites doing this before i restarted. I've also tried running Firefox with add-ons disabled and same thing happened.

I tried every thing they had in there before but the problem "seems" like it was my anti-virus. I was using Norton 360. I tried disabling and editing the firewall settings without anything working still, but after i uninstalled it and installed a different one. Things seem to be working like they're supposed to now. Thanks for your help.
