A Web site will work on Mozilla or Explorer... but it works for friends

For the last 3 days, I was not able to get this Web site, or with Mozilla or Internet Explorer. All other sites work very well as usual. I can't connect to this Web site on another computer in the House either. But it works very well for friends. I deleted the cache and cookies. My COMPUTER knowledge is limited and I don't know what more to do. This is the message that I get up when I try to go to this site:

         The server at www.bookcrossing.com is taking too long to respond.
 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.

Any ideas?

Thanks for your help! Since posting here, I managed to get in touch with the technical support of the site as well. I was happy to discover that it wasn't just me - it was a problem at their end that seemed to block a few users (although no one I knew!). Touch wood, it seems to work now.
