When I attempt to connect to a website, specifically mc.maxfierke.com, Firefox displays a "Problem loading page" error page and says "Firefox can't find the server at www.mc.maxfierke.com." I have contacted the administrator of the site and he says it should work for mc.maxfierke.com but not www.mc.maxfierke.com. However, Firefox does not appear to attempt to connect to the former site under any circumstances that I have tried, and always tries to connect to the latter.
