Firefox says it can not find the server (Windows Internet Exployer works fine

When I try to connect to Firefox,I get the message can not find server.(All my hardwired computers,to Dsl).When we try Windows Internet Exployer it works fine.That is what I am using to send this message.

Not sure of your answers: is the problem solved (as marked) or not.
Did you go through the solution for the Firewall that you use.

When you say it works okay on new browser do you mean IE or do you mean if you reinstall Firefox. As far as I know it is the Firefox updates that get are mostly affected. What Firewall do you have.

Slow-Start Up and "can not find the server" dialog box

hi there -
2 year old Ibook G4. When I try to open either Safari or Netscape the "can not find the server" box pops up.. I have a solid connection wi-fi for the wireless signal is on full strength. I have cleared my cache. Also I am experiencing start-ups that are taking 2-3 minutes. The color wheel just keeps spinning.Also, I have done repair and I renewed the DHCD. Not sure what else to do?

as a guess, spinning wheel could be caused by failing hard drive.
often failing hard drives will pass all tests by the utilities.
you may want to back up any important files just in case.
if the iBook boots up from the OS install CD/DVD with no problems, issues could be caused by the corrupted files on the hard drive or failing drive.

Safari is not able to open this page because it can not find the server.

I too need help with this problem with my Ipod touch. Currently, I am in the Ukraine, go to a wifi cafe, access the wifi and get a clear powerful signal. Then I try to load the Google page, any page from my bookmark or write the web address in and I receive the same message; "Safari can not open this page because it can not find the server." Something is wrong with my settings and I tried to reset the options but it does not work. Can anyone help me with this problem? Thanks!!

Hello and Welcome to Apple Discussions.
The 169.254.xxx.xxx address indicates that there is a problem with DHCP server in your BT Digital Hub (Home hub?) because the iPod is taking a default IP rather than been given a suitable one. At the moment the iPod is not even in the same subnet as the router so it's no wonder that Safari can't find the Internet.
Ensure that the DHCP server is on and that you have an IP-address pool sufficiently large to serve all the devices you have. I'd expect it to be 192.168.1.1 to 192.168.1.253. If you have FON enabled you certainly need that wider range as other people may be using your router too.

Bought a new monitor.. wide screen 23"... Firefox is not filling the full window. IE works fine but I prefer Firefox. What do I need to do to fill entire window, not just the way it was with the old monitor?

Most pages are defined to be a certain size, regardless of how large or small your monitor is. You can use Firefox's zoom feature (View menu) to enlarge the text and images (or just the text, if you prefer) on a page.
In addition to making individual site adjustments, there are some add-ons that will default every site to a higher zoom level. For example, check out:
* [https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/6965/ Default FullZoom Level]
* [https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/2592/ NoSquint]
Does that help?

Send Ical invitation url to a friend, but he can not find the server

I am using an IMac G5 and my friend a powerbook G4. I send with mail a link to my ical. When clicking onto this link he gets no Server.
IMac G5 Mac OS X (10.4.6)

My friend using a mac too, can´t find the
server.
strange ...
Perhaps the link you put in the email got broken
between lines. If so, clicking on it may well
produce an invalid request. Try putting the url
between brackets or at asking your friend to type
it in letter by letter.
Iknow the problem with broken lines. That is not the reason. I will send a testmail to someone other and report it later. Thanks for helping me !

The ProgressBar error - Can't find the __package__.js - Used to work fine

Hello everybody
Yesterday I created a page with some progress bar on it using the BluePrints components and it worked great. Today I come to work and nothing works. I used the HTTP monitor to study the requests and I got what you see below.
Request 4:
Request URI /appcontext/dynamic/bpui_progressbar_handler/writeAjaxResponse.faces Edit...
Request 3:
Request URI /appcontext/static/META-INF/dojo/src/io/__package__.js Edit...
Request 2:
Request URI /appcontext/static/META-INF/dojo/src/__package__.js Edit...
Request 1:
Request URI /appcontext/static/META-INF/dojo/__package__.js Edit...
Which all had the same response status:
HTTP exit status (as set by servlet) 404: Not Found Edit...
So in other words it just can't find the resources for some reason. I found a 'solution' here (which had to do with shale-remoting)http://forum.java.sun.com/thread.jspa?threadID=778815&messageID=4439351
and I did it but it still gave this:
Request URI /appcontext/dynamic/bpui_progressbar_handler/writeAjaxResponse.faces Edit...
So does anyone have an idea what is going on here? Because I spent 8 hours on this with no result.
It used to work great until yesterday. I do not remember chaning anything...
Thanks in advance

The first time I used the progressbar this was all I had in my web.xml
<servlet-mapping>
 <servlet-name>Faces Servlet</servlet-name>
 <url-pattern>*.faces</url-pattern>
</servlet-mapping>
After it gave me all those problems with the __package__ thing so my web.xml ended up like this
<servlet-mapping>
 <servlet-name>Faces Servlet</servlet-name>
 <url-pattern>/faces/*</url-pattern>
 </servlet-mapping>
<servlet-mapping>
 <servlet-name>Faces Servlet</servlet-name>
 <url-pattern>*.faces</url-pattern>
</servlet-mapping>
And now I got the same ol' problem all of a sudden. I don't know what's wrong. I use the Visual Pack by the way and the project was first started with Creator 2.1. Is there anything I should know?
I think I should better check out the source so as to get the whole picture of shale-remoting...
Thanks guys...I hope we solve this thing together

What causes the message on startup- Firefox can not find the server. Could the server block more than two pcs on line at any one time ??

I have two pcs linked to my Telkom server. I tried to add a third to test it. It sees the server and states excellent connection. But I am unable to get Firefox to open. Every attempt ends with "Firefox cant see the server". I suspect its my server which will only allow max 2 pc at any one time altho I unplugged the one (its on wire to the router) and tried. Still got the same message. Same with Opera when tried.

TS3988 It says it can't find the server when I try to login. What am I doing wrong or what do I need to do to fix it?

What do I need to do when it says ther server can not be found when I try to login on my PC?

It doesn't appear to be a valid domain.
'''.mx''' on its own would make it a second level domain, that is is to say, the organization which registered the domain.
Your site will likely be a third level domain which means there has to be a prefix before the '''.mx'''. What that should be will depend on the registrar. For example, it could be '''www.ssmithx10.com.mx'''
You need to contact the company where your site is registered to find out what that is.
Here's a list just in case you haven't registered it all: http://www.registry.mx/jsf/rar_list/search/search.jsf

Hi, I'm trying to download widgets for dashboard. Seems every widget I try either says it can't find the server or says it can't install because its from an unknown developer. It's on the apple site so I'm a little confused. I've tried like 15.

So does anyone know or have the same issue. It seems a little odd.

Welcome to Apple Support Communities
When you download a widget, you are getting a message telling you that it's not from an identified developer. This message is caused by Gatekeeper > http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5290?viewlocale=en_US&locale=en_US You can fix this issue by two ways:
1. Right-click the widget and choose "Open".
2. Open System Preferences > Security & Privacy > General, and tick "Anywhere" under "Allow applications downloaded from"

We downloaded maverick - have 2 Mac desktops in 2 different rooms that no longer connect wirelessly to the printer. It says it can't find the server.

Can't figure out how to update Airport utility. All of the sudden our printer isn't connected.

Is this printer connected to the USB port of an AirPort base station? If so, what is the exact model of the base station and the make & model of the printer?

The Safari Can't Find The Server - Error!

After updating my iPad and Mac OSX to the latest version, I am constantly getting 'The Safari Can't find the server' error on valid addresses. I have to refresh a few times to access the website.
I have gone through many posts and I gathere that it is not a Mac issue, but something to do with network settings - DHCP/Proxy. But I still could not figure out how to solve the problem.
If someone can guide/advise me then that would be a great help..
Thanks

I'm having similar issues with Safari saying it can not find the server. Tumblr and Zooniverse sites are particularly troublesome, even with refreshing. I have checked the status of their servers and they are up and running without issues. I can access them eventually but have to close the current tab and reopen later. However, when I use Chrome or Firefox I can access the sites with no problem. It's not a local network problem as I can access the internet and those sites on my iPhone and all other sites. It appears to be an issue with Safai.

Safari can't find the server (Airport)

I'm totally confused about airport:
I've got a G5 upstairs and my Powerbook downstairs. I have configured the G5 so that my PBook recognises it, I'm able to connect to the G5 using my password etc etc there is good signal.
But when I try and open a web page it just says "safari can't find the server "
In Network prefs it says: "Airport is connected to the network... Airport has a self-assigned IP address and may not be able to connect to the internet"
What is going on, how do I fix it please?
Many thanks for any help
Cheers

Hi,
Does email work? Do you use an ISP for Internet connectivity, or do you run your own DNS nameservers?
If you use a third-party's ISP's DNS for name resolution, those machines could be down. That would result in Safari not finding the web page requested. To determine whether or not your ISP's DNS name servers are up and running, try ping-ing them. If you can ping them then the problem is probably on your machine.
Do you see any network-related error messages in the file system.log in /var/log? If so, post them here so debugging can proceed.

Since upgrading to Firefox 27.0 some webpages will not load when I click on them. It gives me a message saying that Firefox can't find the server.

Since upgrading to Firefox 27.0 some webpages will not load when I click on them. It gives me a message saying that Firefox can't find the server. I have to click the link several time before it will load and sometimes when they do load it does not show the page right. It is like the HTML is messed up or something. I have tried everything I can think of. I started in safe mode, still did it., I removed add-ons, still did it., I reset Firefox and still did it., I completely uninstalled Firefox and re-installed Firefox and it still does it. I have tried Malware Bytes Anti-Malware scans and Avast boot-time scans and found no malware or viruses. I have found that those websites open the first time with no problems on my IE9 and they used to do so in Firefox 26.0. I'm at my wit's end. The website links are in my bookmarks and are used all the time so they are trusted and my avast is set to allow them. They range from news websites to gun websites and everything I have read says that Mozilla does not filter those unless something has changed recently.

Try this as a first step; 
Clear the Cache '''''Firefox/Tools > Options > Advanced > Network > Cached Web Content: "Clear Now"''''' 
and 
Remove Cookies '''''Firefox/Tools > Options > Privacy > Cookies: "Show Cookies"''''' 
If there is still a problem,
'''''[https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/troubleshoot-firefox-issues-using-safe-mode Start Firefox in Safe Mode]'''''
While you are in safe mode;
'''''Firefox Options > Advanced > General'''''. Look for and turn off '''Use Hardware Acceleration'''.

Try resetting your proxy server. Go to Tools, Options, Advanced, Settings and select one. I must do this every time I restart Firefox -- but at least after that, I'm okay until the next restart.
