Firefox timing out and won't reconnect

I have done some searching on existing posts, and am not sure I have found a solution to my problem.
I am a new FIOS customer with land line, Internet and TV service. I have the MI424WR Router. All is well except the Internet connection. I am running Windows XP service pack 3 with the latest version of Firefox. After a few minutes of web browsing Firefox will time out trying to find a site, and will then not connect to any site. If I end and restart Firefox it will not find the home web page. If I then try to start Internet Explorer it to will not find a home page. I have checked the Internet connection and it is still active. The only way I can regain Internet connectivity is to reboot OR run my work VPN program. When I do this I am able to establish a VPN connection and the web browsers will work. If I then disconnect the VPN connection the browser will continue to work without issue.
So, is this a router issue? A Windows issue? What doesn't make sense to me is why I can establish a VPN connection but not a browser connection. Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.

When this happens, right click on your network connection and select the "Repair" option. Then try your browser again. Let us know if this works, or if it doesn't. It will help narrow down the possibilities of what it could be.

The error message came when i was dnloading itunes 8 that an important component was missing and warned that if i continued with the install there might be problems. well the installation completed but when i went to download the iphone 2.1 update the download interrupts and i get a "timed out" error. i turned off anything that could possibly start. screensavers etc but don't know what could cause this firewalls
Try doing what dynamite said by installing itunes 8. Maybe do a google about the error. Ring microsoft or last resort is a reformat.

I have the new iOS 6.1.2 on my iPad. My wifi connects to my home network but keeps dropping it and won't reconnect. Did not have this problem with previous iOS.

Try the following to rule out a software problem:
- Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Power off and then back on the router
- Reset network settings: Settings>General>Reset>Reset Network Settings
- iOS: Troubleshooting Wi-Fi networks and connections
- iOS: Recommended settings for Wi-Fi routers and access points
- Restore from backup. See:
iOS: How to back up
- Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.
If still problem make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since it appears you have a hardware problem.

Disabling the computer's security software (firewall and antivirus) usually resolves that error.

If the steps in the article TJBUSMC1973 linked didn't resolve your issue, then the next step would be to have your phone serviced at an Apple store. Good luck

Hi there can anyone help. I am connected to the internet by ethernet but my connection keeps timing out and my network diagnostics shows all green and network connection ok but still no internet connection. the other wireless laptop in my flat works well.

Hi there can anyone help. I am connected to the Internet by Ethernet but my connection keeps timing out and my network diagnostics shows all green and network connection ok but still no Internet connection. the other wireless laptop in my flat works well. Could the other wireless laptops being used in my flat be affecting my connection. what can I do to get connected, keep connected. Thanks for any ideas out there.

My network connected for a few hours then went back to timing out. I have not changed anything. However there four additional laptop users in my family who do not seem to be having any problems using their wireless connection. Could their film and music downloads be causing the timing out of my connection and if so is there a way I could prioritizes my computer or limit their use?

Try temporarily disabling your firewall and anti-virus software then try the download again.

Hi Valeria07,
We want managing your media to be easy! It saddens me to hear that this is not occuring. Do you receive a specific error message when the browser times out? Have you tried using a different browser?
Thanks,

TS4009 I have followed the steps above but when I get to the screen to select a downgraded option, the Done button is grayed out and won't let me select a new option. I see a lock up in top right-hand corner, but not sure how to unlock it.

I have a new email and am trying to change it in icloud. but it has locked me out and won't send my email a reset password link for some reason. even though it says its sent, it doesnt come to the email address

Welcome to the Apple community.
If you are unable to remember your password, security questions, don’t have access to your rescue address or are unable to reset your password for whatever reason, your only option is to contact Apple ID Support, upon speaking to an operator you should explain that your problem is related to your Apple ID, this way you will not be charged for assistance, even if you don’t have an AppleCare plan.
You will need to show patience with the procedure and be prepared to demonstrate without question that the account belongs to you. Don’t expect access to be restored immediately and if you aren’t the owner of the Apple ID registered to the device the account won’t be reset.
