J2RE and java.sun.com not there?

I am playing w/ FC% release 3. For maybe 3 weeks now, I have been trying to get the Java runtime installed. At Sun, I find what I need, but the web page won't open for a download. So, maybe it's me. There's also a M$ box on the LAN here, and it gets the same response. What's up with that?

maybe you have a firewall or some kind of blacklist blocking, in which case talk to the IT guy, if you are that guy do you run a proxy? or any kind of port blocking?

No proxy, I do run a firewall, but I am DL'ing without issues everywhere else, and have been for years. In fact I have DL'd j2re a lot of times for various releases of RH, and now Fedora with this same setup. I don't know. It's a mystery to me.
