Extremely frustrating problem

Not quite sure what happened, but TFP isn't working for my computer. There are a few websites that I frequent, and they just will not load. Up until about 2 days ago, they worked just fine.

When I try to load TFP/wowhead/tinychat/few others, I get the message:

Quote:
The connection was reset.
The connection to the server was reset while the page was loading.
The site could be temporarily unavailable or too busy. Try again in a few moments.
If you are unable to load any pages, check your computer's network connection.
If your computer or network is protected by a firewall or proxy, make sure that Firefox is permitted to access the Web.
some websites work fine; google, digg, fark, photobucket and a whole host of other websites that I went to trying to research this issue. They load fast, and there are no issues.

I thought I might have some sort of malicious shit going on, so I ran spybot, and all it came back with was some tracking cookies.

Using the same browser, I can go to zangoproxy.com and get to TFP that way, and it will load.

I ran winsockXPfix, and it did it's thing, but it didn't help.

I try to use IE 6.0, and the pages still won't load, but I get the generic "page cannot be displayed" message.

Need help!

Firefox 3.2.3
WinXP Pro SP1 X64 edition

Currently using the Tor network to post this question. Help!
