Blogspot Blocked - Can Anyone Help? (Useful comments only please)?

In the last three days, I have not been able to view any site with "blogspot.com" but am able to use blogger.com to post blogs (cannot use the "view" button either"). I have not had this problem before and I am using the same computer and same network and same account.

After a long delay I get this message on the browser:

"The requested URL could not be retrieved

While trying to retrieve the URL: http://*****.blogspot.com/

The following error was encountered:

* Connection to *** Failed

The system returned:

(110) Connection timed out

The remote host or network may be down. Please try the request again.

Your cache administrator is webmaster.

    The key to this answer is in your final line "squid".

    Squid is a caching web proxy which you appear to be connecting through. Your squid proxy seems to have a problem with blogspot. If you are on a school or business network, report the fault the IT tech there.

    If you are not, then your ISP has a caching proxy (unlikely,but possible). See if the problem fixes in 3 days and report it to them if it doesn't.

    sounds like they are having server problems.Try another computer and see if you get the same response if so it is on their end.

    i think you may need to check it up with the domain..

    or maybe, it has to do something with some violations to the terms and conditions...

    i don't exactly know...
