Server not found

Firefox can't find the server at www.neowin.net.

* Check the address for typing errors such as

ww.example.com instead of

www.example.com

* If you are unable to load any pages, check your computer's network

connection.

* If your computer or network is protected by a firewall or proxy, make sure

that Firefox is permitted to access the Web.

I have to close Firefox, wait a few seconds before i reopen it. After reloading Firefox, the site works again, however after like 30 mintues the same thing happens and i have close and reload

IE works fine

I had this problem not too long ago. Go into your router and grab the DNS Servers. Then manualy put them in to your network settings for that device.

It should work after that.

[Shof]

you mean the lan card or firefox to put the dns in?

[OmegaHack]

into the lan card preferences.

Since i cant edit my post, i have to double post(which is odd that i can edit my topic post, but not my recent post :huh: )

Here are a few pictures:

(..somehow ran out of neowin attachment space to use imageshack)

It dont happen to every site, just a few like ebay and google :(. Clearing my cache,cookies and temp files in both IE and FF, it just limited the sites i can load in FF :angry:

Argh! why can i edit my post again? All i see is the quote and reply button. Anyways:

I try to completely uninstall and reinstall firefox. After the reinstall, i also ran CCleaner to clean out my computer. After that i open firefox and it seems to be loading websites slow, and i am still getting sites that either time, or just dont want to connect

Using my laptop with firefox installed, it seems to be working along beter then the one on my other computer
