Hmm connection was reset? I was having a similar problem with various sites a while back and it turned out I had I virus...or atleast I think. It cleared itself up after a virus scan that got rid of 90+ infections my PC had.

If not try the basic going to internet options and clearing of the cookies, temp files, ect ect. Check the security settings and the blocked sites...I can't think of much else that would be of help though sorry.
