I keep telling people they should stop googling and start yahooing.  I don't know why people think google is so hot when yahoo can do the same job.

is everyone om here faulty or something. the guy said do not to recommend another browser!!!!\n\nanyway i would start off at looking at your connections in internet options. if you are using a proxy make sure it is set in here. the next thing i would check is your home page settings, change it to another page. also check whether all your network connections are working and enabled (do you have an internet connection).\n\ni dont think you need to deactivate your firewall. it should work because firewalls usually let through communiction via http.

Check your connection. if dial-up/cable, maybe problem in lines. I think Windows website said if MP kept buffering, you had a poor connection.

probably because some spot you have saved as your startup page when you start the net just can't be accessed when you start it up.\ntry changing it manually in your internet options.\nMaybe that will help you out.

the distance information has to travel from one station to another before connecting, can slow down all browser abilities to a crawl.  Might check the cable and go to a higher grade.

What router are you using? can you access other sites? have your tried to access google using internet explorer?, it may just be a firefox problem if you are able to access the site using internet explorer, another thing you could try is rolling back your PC to before you installed BT Broadband, and try again, then if problem has cleared install BT Broadband, if the problem is back again you can be sure it is a BT problem and you will need to speak to BT Broadband Technical Help Desk on 0845 600 7030. Hope this helps

I finally removed the Google Toolbar.  All of the background downloads were slowing down my system.  My system's been running great without it!

This is likely becuase there is something wrong with your internet connection. If you're using a fast-connection, try resetting your modem, rebooting your computer, or renewing your IP address. In any case, your computer is probably somehow not connected the way it should be.

check your internet security tab to see if it is up to high and firewall .. refresh page 1st then reboot then all the other stuff i mentioned.

Try turning off all spyware and antivirus protection and see if you can get to the Google website.  If that does not work, then shut down the modem, the router and then reboot the PC. Wait about 60 seconds and turn things back on in the same sequence so they all clear themselves and reset.\nCheck to see if you "blocked" Google in IE 6.0 as well.

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.

Have you tried dumping your browser's cache, along with your temporary internet files? \n\nI don't know if this is even the right advice, but it HAS helped me when web pages started acting "funny" on me. I have not, however, run into the specific problem you mentioned. But hopefully you'll get to the bottom of it! :)
