Try using other browser, as far as I know you shouldn't have any problems watching twitch streams unless your school campus admins did something that blocks it. | ||

Edit: I use Chrome too, after reading your thread, I did tried watching some streams listed on TL, as you've said I had one or two streams that had no video, but after refreshing it worked. | ||

Nope, none of the browsers are working. And refreshing isn't working. It's gotta be something with my computer and the school network. | ||

Well, you already ruled out the school network (since you said it works perfectly fine on other computers), all is left is your own computer. I do not know how you can fix it, it's quite odd, far fetched idea, are you sure you have the video card drivers installed ? anyway , try http://www.adobe.com/software/flash/about/ , if you see a cube bouncing around animation that means your flash works just fine. | ||

Note, I tried to upload a screenshot of what I'm seeing, it says. This webpage is not available The connection to imghost.us was interrupted. Here are some suggestions: Reload this webpage later. Check your Internet connection. Restart any router, modem, or other network devices you may be using. Add Google Chrome as a permitted program in your firewall's or antivirus software's settings. If it is already a permitted program, try deleting it from the list of permitted programs and adding it again. If you use a proxy server, check your proxy settings or contact your network administrator to make sure the proxy server is working. If you don't believe you should be using a proxy server, adjust your proxy settings: Go to Applications > System Preferences > Network > Advanced > Proxies and deselect any proxies that have been selected. I think the IT guys are blocking stuff from computer not connected to LAN. Does that make sense? | ||

I'm at the Tidewater Community College in Virginia. make sure that wall plug is an ethernet one, if you have an ethernet patch cord, try it and use that ethernet wall plug, if you have a link (and your campus does employ dhcp) you are kinda lucky. | ||
