Every time I try to get on NFL.com using Windows 7 and a variety of browsers, it times out.

I've tried these browsers:

  • Safari (even changing the user agent does nothing)
  • Google Chrome
  • IE 8 (and IE 8 with compatibility mode turned on)
  • Firefox

So then I tried to ping the website, they all timed out. But when I use Linux (Ubuntu 9.04) on the same computer I can access the website just fine.

So why can't I open this website on Windows 7?

I don't think it's the OS per se. I just browsed to NFL.com on Windows 7 with Chrome, loaded just fine. Are you behind some sort of proxy that might be blocking certain sites? (Like at work).

Edit per comment: Have you checked your host file? Do you have peerguardian running?

No it's my personal computer with no proxy. – Lucas McCoy Jul 19 '09 at 23:33
