If you can't reach any website this is most likely a firewall issue.

I also have had problems off and on with "time out"  Today I found that
if I switched connection settings from manual proxy to auto, things worked

the bug.  ie gmail.com was still accessible.
Others in my group have also seen this problem for certain sites.
