Have you tried a trace and pinging to 3D Commune? Perhaps there is a router down between you and them that is causing you the problems.

Start/Programs/Accessories/DOS Prompt At the flashing bar type: For Trace: TRACERT 64.157.13.155 For Ping: PING 64.157.13.155 You can see how many hops it takes you and what the connection speed is.

"It is good to see ourselves as others see us. Try as we may, we are never
able to know ourselves fully as we are, especially the evil side of us.
This we can do only if we are not angry with our critics but will take in good
heart whatever they might have to say." - Ghandi
