Help - I can't load my website

I started a blog using blogger.com over the weekend. The problem that I now have is that I can not log on to the site anymore.
By that I mean that if I use another computer I can type the address in and it takes me to the site.... but if I try and go using mine it sometimes just times out or just says "sending request to....." at the bottom of my browser.
I am using wireless broadband (with a security key).
I have AVAST antivirus installed and am using windows firewall.
Does anyone have any ideas on what could have happened?
All help really appreciated.

Hi Bob,
Try this:
1. Try a forced refresh of the site (ctrl + F5).
2. If that doesn work you could you try turning off your firewall and antivirus and see if that is in someway blocking the site.
3. If that doesn't work maybe you've got some sort of spyware/malware on your system that is stopping internet explorer from viewing the site, in this case:
1. Download firefox browser from [url]Http:///getfirefox.com[/url] and use that.
2. Run spyware/malware checks on your system. (Look at the sticky threads in this forum).If you're feeling down, you must be holding a duck.0
