| 775482 | 2009-05-20 12:31:00 | Well every so often when im browsing on Firefox or IE i open a new page it just times out or doesn't even give me the message to show that its timed out instead it just stops. I normally give it about 5 mins and it works again, and its not just on one site its happened on a lot of different sites and is really starting to annoy me. mainly because i have been unable to fix it as of late as it just stays timed out until i restart my computer. I'm also able to talk on msn/irc etc but not able to browse using IE or FF which i find quite bizarre. Does anybody have any problems as to why this would be happening? O/S: Windows Vista home Preminum 32-bit Firefox Version: 3.0.1 Internet Explorer: 7.0.6001.18000 I don't think it has to do with the browsers themselves because if it was i would only expect it to happen with one, but two and at the same time seems like a very unlikely circumstance. |

My ISP is Vodafone Nope only im using my connection as my mum isn't all that computer savy :P I'm using Wired And nope it happens regardless if im not using them :| Are you using wireless or wired network? If wired are there any other wireless devices nearby, cordless phone etc? Nope there isn't any other wireless devices around. Another note: I do have the option for wireless in my laptop but have it turned off as i have no wireless at the moment and don't plan on stealing anyone elses bandwidth. Kountryken>Please post your questions in your own thread, thanks OPoes it happen to all computers on the network or just one? Are you connected directly to the modem or via a router/ap? I'm the only computer connected to my router and it is directly connected if that helps. |

| 775488 | 2009-05-20 22:40:00 | How old is the modem you have? Chances are, its either overheating or not up to the job any more, causing frequent disconnects RIng up your ISP and they should chuck you a new one for free. Blam |
