| 277927 | 2004-10-03 10:17:00 | This is probably fairly basic, but hey ! so is my skill level... Am using XP and Firefox.......... On occasions, normally when on a slower site (banking) - I will get an error type report telling me that the operation has "timed out." Usually just a matter of okaying it and trying again. I suspect there is probably a command somewhere stating a set number of seconds to search ? Can someone point me to it - I have been unable to locate same... |

| 277928 | 2004-10-03 18:57:00 | A bit more info . Is this a session timeout on a secure site (eg, banking, online form/registration), a connection timeout (probably dialup), a page trimeout? What type of connection are you using, dialup, ADSL (eg, Jetstream), cable? Cheers Murray P |

| 277929 | 2004-10-03 20:04:00 | Murray, Thanks for replying.... I am on Dial-up. Last noticed this on the Westpac Banking site but have struck it in general terms whilst surfing...but only suddenly in the last week or so. Have checked all advanced areas in Firefox Tools, Windows settings (Modem and Internet Options) but apart from a section to set how many times to ring for a connection, can't see anything to limit search time.... Possibly this has been a "dumping" from my ISP (Igrin in Whangarei) however they have been pretty good for the last 5 years in this respect and the timeout error report has come in the middle of a session, possibly within 20 seconds of me asking for a page.... I'll sit on it and take a bit more notice, including noting the error report in full. |

| 277930 | 2004-10-05 00:24:00 | This interests me coz I'm having a complete dog's job trying to download AVG onto a mate's computer. It keeps "timing out" and I mean the connection is just dropped, disconnected. There is no box saying "You have timed out" or "Connection dropped". Nothing. Damn thing just disconnects all by itself. I rang Xtra (their ISP) and nice Noel ran me round a few things but coudn't find anything odd. I asked "Do you get kicked off if a download takes too much time/hogs their modem whatever but no never with xtra. Dunno what to do now. :_| |
