LinkedIn Timeout at Login


I was having problem Login in to Linkedin.com from work (also was one of the company directors), I went through my whole network and firewall setup looking for any setting that could be blocking their site.  I was getting a “Connection Timed Out” error.

The solution was also simple but still poses a question to me.  I deleted the LinkedIn cookie from my Firefox and it started working straight away, the interesting bit was that as soon as my computer gained access also did the other computers on my network.  So if you are having problem loging in to LinkedIn on your network and clearing your cookies does not sort it out, try asking you coleagues (who use LinkedIn) to clear their browser’s cookies. I will report this to LinkedIn to see if this has any foundation.

    Interesting… it works for the login page and most other pages but does not work with the search. It looks like anything that calls the HTTPS hangs for a while and TIMESOUT again.
