I'm not sure if it is my isp (Quicksilver) or elswhere but lately I have been getting a large number of Operation Timed out errors which to a degree is making the internet useless. Any ideas would be interesting.

238777 2004-05-23 22:06:00 When the time outs happen see if you can ping quicksilver. If the pings time out then ping www.pressf1.pcworld.co.nz (for example) and see if there is a response. Also ping an international site like www.microsoft.com to see if there is international traffic available. This will give you an idea where the prob is. I have had quicksilver not respond on the home page but fine on other sites.
I also had a prob with a lot of page cannot be found when I was running Win2k and one of the versions of IE. I now have XP and the latest version of IE with no prob. Maybe updating IE if you don't have the latest version.

PS: to ping go to the command prompt and type as follows
ping www.quicksilver.net.nz and push enter.
