Thread: I'm having a weird problem with my browsers

I've gotten

Connection timed out

The server at sitename.com is taking too long to respond.

Also, now another site that I'm at is starting to do that.
What is going on? Why are some websites timing out?

How do I deal with this?

What's even stranger is that I try to open it in other browsers besides my main one (Firefox)
and they too give error messages.

I've tried another computer, downstairs, and it too couldn't get to my first site. However, I haven't tried it to see if I can get to this new site.

What could be causing the server to time out like this?

Also, it seems others can all get to the first site but I can't, even after over a month!

I'm not sure if others can get to this new site, but it's starting to get me angry.

Also, it might be a search engine or toolbar glitch.

Often, even for Java Programming Forums, I get a message saying

"Oops this page appears to be broken!" from Yahoo and it tries to find the site.

It comes up sometimes when I'm posting, sometimes when I added a smile, and other things. It's also coming up at this new site, though it doesn't appear for most sites, though. But it has for a while from Java Programming Forums and also my new site.

I'm wondering if these two annoyances are related.

What's a proxy? I've asked other people for the first site I had problems with and they said they could all get in fine.

Try to see if you can get into dreamtechweb.com

It appears I'm having problems connecting to some servers.

It seems that the network itself might be having problems.

But how do I fix the network?

What favorite network tool were you referring to?

I have a dog.

However, I think those toolbars, one of which had been causing many errors, have all been disabled and now my network runs faster.

However, the problem is still there, though I may have gotten rid of the "Broken Page" error.

Haven't seen it yet since I disabled the yahoo toolbar.

I had had like 5 or 6 toolbars with my browser (I got them and didn't know how to get rid of them, until now when I looked at plugins and stuff, which I should have done a long time ago, and disabled them all.

Why can't my browser find servers at php forums?

Why are the other browsers not letting me get in either?

What do you do if it's an entire network or ISP, though why the problem would still be lingering, and now increasing!, after over a month is beyond me?

Open a command window (Start > Run > CMD) and type this in order.
Press enter after each command..

ipconfig /release

ipconfig /renew

ipconfig /flushdns
