Check the security level in the \nSTART -> SETTING-> CONTROL PANEL -> INTERNET OPTION\n\nTRY REDUCING THE security status

It could be your firewall or something like that but you may try to adjust the settings.

You have malware on your computer - some nasty software that's  hijacked your internet settings. Go get adaware (just look it up on http://www.download.com), update it, and run a full scan on your computer. Adaware is completely free.

Your network setup wasn't mentioned... I assume your website is being accessed from a server in your network behind a router?\n\nVerify if any new hardware was added.  If you have a "double NAT", that is if you have 2 routers in your network, or your modem has a NAT firewall, and you've added, like let's say a router - this may prevent a computer within the same network from getting to the web-server.\n\nPerhaps some new security software was added, or access restrictions have been changed?

It maybe because of the Dial-Up Connection. It might be going so slow that windows thinks that its jsut not going and it cancels the request and give you some stupid error. I had that problem when I used to be on that horribly super slow dial up conenciton.

Denise there's lots of reasons for this, and as I've found out in the last week, not easy to pinpoint and therefore impossible to rectify easily.\n\nThis is what I've attempted to do:\n\nSystem cleanup, followed by a defrag;\nDownload Mozilla Firefox;\nDownload and use frequently CCleaner;\nComplain to my ISP;\nRun a full system anti-virus scan;\nAsked for help here at Y!A and other sites re "Cannot find server" problem;\nSearched Y!A, Google, Yahoo! and Microsoft websites;\nUninstalled and re-installed my BT Yahoo browser;\nDid Start>Run>"cmd" Enter/OK> "ping uk.answers.yahoo.com" Enter to see if there's any 'time-outs' (although I didn't know what to do when there was!!!);\nand probably a bit more that I can't remember.\n\nin short, this last week's been a nightmare, but it seems to have calmed down quite significantly to a fairly tolerable rate of occurence.  But I don't know if it's because of anything I did or if 'it just sorted itself out'.\n\nMy advice is to try at least some of these things above, and cross your fingers that someone else here can give you better advice than I.

I was having the same kind of problem and since i have slow speed access i found out that if at certain times \nof the day everything is busy. You know (the hour class) \nalso i was told to defrag my computer at least once a\nweek at the same time on the same day. Also to check on\nyour Install Shield Update as well. I don't know if this\nis helpful i'm still new to all this computer stuff. Good\nluck, hope you find the right help.

Details please!  Dial up?  DSL? Cable?  Router?  Do you turn anything off at night?  What is it that you restart with the task manager?

You probably have a hijacker on your system.\nTry Spybot S&D at http://www.safer-networking.org/en/home/index.html

Check out the proxy settings of Internet explorer.\nGo to Tools -> Internet Options -> Connections -> then click the connection you use and check if use a proxy server is checked or not if it is checked then uncheck it. May be it would have helped you.

are you on dial up, if so then the same hapens to me when the net slows down, usually re logging into your internet helps, or just trying later, they can see a nickle on the moon but they cannot keep us on a good internet connection, makes u wonder doenst it

I notice it with two computers, but only when two of us are downloading things at exactly the same time.  It doesn't happen too often.  And I have a 300k connection.  A DS1 would help (1.544Mbps).  A DS3 would fix the problem (45Mbps).

Have you tried disabling your screen saver?\n\nDo a scan and repair on your hard drives.\n\nWhen the Internet locks up do CTRL ALT DEL and see if there is anything not responding.\n\nShut down all unnecessary programs & see if it happens. If not reactivate your programs until you find the culprit.\n\nIf you have your hard drive power down after a period of activity disable the power down.\n\nI will assume you have done virus & spyware scans.
