  I am not able to view images on any wordpress.com sites, including mine(istheurlavailable.wordpress.com). I have tried from both my work place as well as my personal computer and also using multiple browsers but I still can’t see anything. At the same time, some of my friends have told that they can see the images easily. When I click on any image it just says that the requested url could not be retrieved and that the connection timed out. Can somebody help me please.

  I was told to answer a few questions. The questions and my answers are as below

  Questions

  1. How are you connecting to the internet and to WordPress.com? The way you connect to the internet (mobile, satellite, DSL, dial-up) and to your blog, and how many proxy server jumps etc. it takes to connect can cause problems. There maybe be problems with your ISP and/or with the proxy servers. It sounds like there could be a problem with your ISP. Can you access any of these directly?

  Thanks for the details.
  Is this happening for all images, or just some?
  Is the problem intermittent or consistent?
