    Help - PC PRoblem

    I have a desktop PC at home

    Intel I3 - 2100T 2.5GHz
    4 Gig RAM
    4.5 TB internal Storage.
    Windows 7 (64bit) Operating System
    Mozilla Firefox internet browser

    my problem is this.

    when I search for something on the net (via google) my usual first response is

    "Server not found







    Firefox can't find the server at blah.com.





    Check the address for typing errors such as
    ww.example.com instead of
    www.example.com
    If you are unable to load any pages, check your computer's network
    connection.
    If your computer or network is protected by a firewall or proxy, make sure
    that Firefox is permitted to access the Web."

    I need to reload this page 2 or 5 times to get the actual page to load.

    This error will also occur if I am moving from one webpage to another -

    My internet connection is ADSL2.

    I do have other programs running in the back ground. Including Thunderbird, MSN, BitTorrent
    the other thing that may effect it is that I have anything up to 15 or 20 Tabs of Firefox Browsing running at one time.

    Any suggestions?

    Chuck Norris has the greatest Poker-Face of all time. He won the 1983 World Series of Poker, despite holding only a Joker, a Get out of Jail Free Monopoly card, a 2 of clubs, 7 of spades and a green #4 card from the game Uno.

    install chrome.

    If that does the same, then ADSL might be intermittent, hop onto the toolbox of provider and look at your connections to see if its 100s of tiems a day, or solid. The other thing could be your firewall program set to too high a security level. Try disabling it for a moment and see what happens

    sounds like a name resolution issue - try using checking your current settings or using alternate DNS servers? (initially, trying using your ISP's DNS server rather than the router as a relay)
