The solution for some URL return timeout error is in firewall settings.
Just disable the following, in firewal preferences (menu Edit/Preferences/Advanced Options):
block broadcasts from external network
block broadcasts from internal network
block traffic from reserved addresses on public interfaces
Have fun,

Hi,
I get a connection time out error every time I try to access britcoin.co.uk.
I am having this problem since I upgraded to Ubuntu 10.04 (Lucid Lynx). I don't get a connection from Firefox 5.0 or Opera (latest) and I tried two PCs (both have the same setup). When I switch to Win7 though it will load the site from within both browser. I remember that before upgrading it was fine.
Other exchange sites work ok, including intersango.com, which has the same server software running as britcoin I think.
I am looking at this problem since the beginning of June and wonder if someone experienced the same.
cheers
