So this is odd - i've been using TOR Browser for a while now with no issue, but then tonight I tried to connect and I get the following error message -
"Firefox can't establish a connection to the server at check.torproject.org."
I haven't changed any settings, and my log file contains the following:
Mar 07 00:41:46.678 [Notice] Tor v0.2.3.25 (git-17c24b3118224d65) running on Windows 7. Mar 07 00:41:46.678 [Notice] Tor can't help you if you use it wrong!

I'm not finding much help online - what could be the problem?
