Thank you all for the replies. It seems it's just me, then.

Just did all that *again*, to make sure, ignoredsins, but nothing. grumble

I wonder if fanfiction.net is blocked by the current proxy server I'm using.

The interesting thing is that, for all other websites, I have no problems.

I'm using Firefox version 2.0.0.3.

UPDATE: Just changed the proxy configuration for Firefox. Had the proxy server setup done on "Internet Options" on Control Panel and changed the settings for Firefox network access to "Auto-detect proxy settings for this network" and... it worked. It seems my Firefox and fanfiction.net didn't agree with each other's settings.
