my experience, although limited, is that "COnnection Refused" is yusually a firewall, on web server not running on said host. #1 check a known good site (like google.ca) #1.a Check other internet stuff - telnet, ssh. email, pings #1.b if none of the above work, skip to step 5 ;) #2 if that works, have a friend connect to not-working-site.com #3 if said friend cannot connect either, not-working-site.com is not working. #4 if said friend CAN connect, then your end is the problem, and an ugly one at that... (selective firewall? Content Filter?) #5 - if you can NOT connect to google, check your system logs for errors -things like packet drops and what not - they will be obvious....
#6 - if all this fails, get back on the list with alot more details... (sites that do and don;t work - say two of each, yer OS version, any error messages in Logs that you think look like they are pertinenet, software you installed, if this is a default, out of Box install, what security level you have configured the box to have etc. etc. - and are you sending email from this same system that is having problems.
