yocoolboi Posted April 30, 2005 Share Posted April 30, 2005 (edited) Hi. I am having a little problem here. I can't access ANY internet pages and it gives me the following error: The page cannot be displayed The page you are looking for is currently unavailable. The Web site might be experiencing technical difficulties, or you may need to adjust your browser settings. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Please try the following: Click the Refresh button, or try again later. If you typed the page address in the Address bar I am now using a friend's computer to type this problem out... This problem is very random, i.e. I can access the internet yesterday but not today and sometimes I can, but sometimes I can't. THERE IS NO SPYWARE OR VIRUS IN MY COMP - that i can be very sure... and I tried using firefox... also no help. I'm using broadband with enternet connection.. Can anyone help me? Thanks.

mercuryx013 Posted April 30, 2005 Share Posted April 30, 2005 Did you maybe set it up to use a proxy? I would call your ISP. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Turn everything off and unplug your router from the wall (the power cord). plug the router back in after a couple of minutes and then turn everything back on.
