I finally took my HP laptop to another room but can't get on internet. I get msg saying "server not found. Firefox can't find the server at www.msn.com" I can get on internet when wired.

Every single time I go to it. But when I refresh it, it loads. This happens on both my Macs. It's not that big of a deal because I can just refresh, but it's curious. I hope you figure out your Firefox problem!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15428775.post-53669723770626754402009-12-17T21:11:42.028-08:002009-12-17T21:11:42.028-08:00I tried Ken Hanscom's solution also to no avai...I tried Ken Hanscom's solution also to no avail. I then undid the changes and what happened may provide a clue. Firefox properly went to the right website for about 5 tries, and then went back to it's "can't find server message."

There are some occurrences where that seems to be the problem.<br /><br />Also, is it SSL site that is causing the issue? If so, you could look at changing the pipelining setting for SSL as well.<br /><br />-KenKen Hanscomhttp://www.somelifeblog.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15428775.post-38560371961302192792009-11-30T03:00:52.517-08:002009-11-30T03:00:52.517-08:00No joy.
