| 659723 | 2008-04-17 06:53:00 | Hi guys, I get this error from time to time. I don't believe it's thrown up by my browser, or by the server on the other end but by a router in between. I get this on sites like CNN, eBay etc intermittently. Big sites, that I doubt are suffering downtime. I also get it sometimes on smaller sites. Can anyone shed some light on the origin of this? Screenshot: i28.tinypic.com Network Error (tcp_error) A communication error occurred: "" The Web Server may be down, too busy, or experiencing other problems preventing it from responding to requests. You may wish to try again at a later time. For assistance, contact your network support team. |

| 659726 | 2008-04-17 07:16:00 | It probably happens if a PC is connected to the net and has a browser (any browser). And yup it doesnt matter what the OS is |

| 659727 | 2008-04-17 09:43:00 | Some more information about this issue at this link. vlaurie.com If you reboot the computer it will clear out the DNS cache. The default time period for keeping an address in the cache is 24 hours. Another more common problem can arise from URLs that are temporarily busy or from congested Internet traffic. If a negative response is received from an attempt to connect, that result is also kept in the local cache. The default time period for retaining a negative response is five minutes. |
