FireFox keeps losing the connection to the server at my local cable company

frequently over past week I get a message that says Firefox cannot find the server at Armstrong cable. I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling FireFox and restarting my computer. I have Trend Micro Titanium anti-virus software on my laptop and a full scan did not detect any issues or problems.

I have exactly the same problem. Internet provider (Time Warner) repaired a cable, installed a new splitter and a new modem. It worked for a day, then same problem. TWC tech verified cable, modem and router OK, problem in the computer. My work around is to disconnect the ethernet from the computer and operate it soley on WiFi. I hope to find out what is wrong with the iMac (running Lion), but for now it works fine this way.
I had even restoree the OS, did not help.
Go to the network preferences and make sure your network is selected, and it should work.

  • I downloaded Firefox but can't open it. I keep getting "The connection to the server was reset while the page was loading" message. If it's a firewall issue, how do I change my firewall to accept Firefox?

    I have used Firefox for a number of years but some time ago I got a virus on my computer. I loaded eset nod32, removed the virus and cleaned the old files etc. using ccleaner.com. Now I keep getting the "The connection to the server was reset while the page was loading" message and I haven't been able to use firefox since then. I have uninstalled and re-installed it several times with no avail. I suspect there is something in my windows frrewall stopping it.

    If you want to check the Firewall, follow this-
    1. Click Start Menu > Control Panel > Security Center.
    2. Under the "Manage security settings for" click Windows Firewall.
    3. On the Exceptions tab, do one of the following-
    1. If Mozilla Firefox Firefox is there in the list, make sure it's checked.
    2. If Mozilla Firefox is not there, close the Windows Firewall window.

  • I keep get this messege The connection to the server was reset while the page was loading. when I try to log in in some site like hotmail and photobucket

    The connection to the server was reset while the page was loading.
    The site could be temporarily unavailable or too busy. Try again in a few

    and my internet is connect and every thing fine with web site that I don't have register or response

    Thanks for responding, David. Using <Esc> and <CtrlW> might reduce the time in returning to the other tab, but does little when the triggering of a wanton alarm is very frequent. The connections I have used were extremely reliable and fast. I am using at this moment a 54 Mbps WiFi connection that lives up to its ratings in downloading & uploading data; yet, as shown in the attached image, I still get this worthless alarm. I do not know if this problem happens with my regular ISP since I have been using this tiny notebook only when traveling -- will test that once I am back mostly for curiosity, but even then if then the alarm were not triggered this would be of little consolation, since other browsers do not have the problem right now).
    As a moderator, I urge you to ask the Mozilla-powers-to-be why there is no way to turn off the alarm with, say, a true/false switch in about:config (mind you, there is still old-versions junk in this config list, so it isn't we are talking about amending the constitution). Complains about this fugly alarm can be traced in the web as far back as 2010 at least. Besides, what is the advantage of the alarm for the average user? When FF users are still posing amazingly basic questions in forums of Firefox or Mozilla support, such an alarm ought to be _off_ by default and should be an option of advanced settings menu. This annoyance shows how much the critical focus on keeping a simple GUI uncluttered by trivial or higher-level messages still needs to evolve for Firefox, which I have used it since it was known a Firebird. Guess will have to switch to Chrome now while abroad.
    Happy Holidays

  • Unable to open any websites from the search engines. the ones I have tried are google, yahoo and ask. They opened until recently. The popup says" Firefox can't establish connection to the server." Ask worked last night but is not working now.

    When I try to open a web site from one of the search engines a pop up shows stating that Firefox can't establish connection to the server. I can't open any websites through any of the search engines.

    Hi StuNYC,
    Welcome to Apple Support Communities.
    It sounds like you're seeing an alert message when opening Mail on your iOS devices. Do you have multiple email accounts setup on the devices? Take a look at the article below, it provides suggestions that will resolve most issues that  cause an alert like that to appear in when starting the Mail app.

    I've been working on our church website and all of a sudden this week, my computer will not connect to the site. I keep getting a message saying that the the connection to the server was reset while the page was loading. Does anyone have any ideas of how I can fix this?

    The "The connection was reset" error message can be caused by a bug fix for the BEAST (Browser Exploit Against SSL/TLS) attack that the server doesn't handle.

  • TS3899 Hi my nan keeps Getting an error message of cannot get mail the connection to the server failed.... Can any one tell me what this means please

    Hi my nan keeps Getting an error message of cannot get mail the connection to the server failed.... Can any one tell me what this means please

    I too am getting this message. I have been using my iPad for two years with no problems but a couple of days ago I starting having this problem intermittently. I have restarted the iPad when that did not work I deleted the account and reloaded it. Nothing seems to work. I was having the same problem on my iPhone but that seems to be OK today. Any other ideas?

  • On my I pad mini I keep getting "cannot get mail" the connection to the server failed. but everything is Ok I can get mail. Why do I get this message??

    On my I pad Mini I keep getting the message "Cannot get Mail" The connection to the server has failed.
    But this is not the case everything works OK so why do I get the message

    An iOS fluke or mail app glitch maybe. Not sure anyone will know why you get it. Do you're ever close the mail app? Try closing it and reset the iPad and see if the message goes away.
    Assuming that you are running iOS 7, in order to close apps, you drag the app up from the multitasking display. Double tap the home button and you will see apps lined up going left to right across the screen. Swipe to get to the Mail app that you want to close and then swipe "up" on the app preview thumbnail to close it.
    Reset the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider if it appears on the screen - let go of the buttons. Let the iPad start up.

  • Losing the connection to sap server

    Hello guys ,
    I have a serious problem that i face losing connection between the terminals and the server, but I can still ping the server from those disconnected computers, the following is a sample to the error from the event viewer of the SAP server.
    source : SAPGEP_00
    category : None
    event ID : 35712
    type : error

    Try this first - Reset the iPad by holding down on the Sleep and Home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons. (This is equivalent to rebooting your computer.)
    Or this - Delete the account in Mail and then set it up again. Settings->Mail, Contacts, Calendars -> Accounts   Tap on the Account, then on the red button that says Remove Account.
