I'm getting "The connection has timed out" when I try to connect to one specific website. I can connect to the site using Internet Explorer. Help?

As suggested by Firefox, I cleared my history and cache. I also downloaded and ran one of the Firefox recommended malware applications. I also removed Firefox from my firewall and then added it back as suggested by Firefox. I have no problem accessing the site using Internet Explorer.

Thanks jscher2000. Yes, in Safe Mode I was able to go the site. I read the possible ways that Firefox suggests to try to fix the problem, i.e., go through all my extensions to find the problem or reset Firefox to the original factory settings. Where do you suggest I go from here?

Getting error message your connection has timed out" when I click on a link

when I click on a link within a email I get the message "your connection has been reset" I just removed several suspicious add ons that were causing constant pop ups.

Hello,
The Reset Firefox feature can fix many issues by restoring Firefox to its factory default state while saving your essential information. <br>
'''Note''': ''This will cause you to lose any Extensions and some Preferences.''
*Open websites will not be saved in Firefox versions lower than 25.
To Reset Firefox do the following:
#Go to Firefox > Help > Troubleshooting Information.
#Click the "Reset Firefox" button.
#Firefox will close and reset. After Firefox is done, it will show a window with the information that is imported. Click Finish.
#Firefox will open with all factory defaults applied.
Further information can be found in the [[Reset Firefox – easily fix most problems]] article.

Thank you.

I get a network connection timed out when I try to restore my ipod touch and I know connection is fine

My daughter forgot her password on touch. We have tried to restore, but after 6 or 7 minutes we get a connection timedout error message and it says to try again later. I turned off firewalls, but that did not help. Any suggestions?

Disabling the computer's antivirus and firewall during the download and restore usually resolves that problem.

Cant download ios5. Using windows computer. Downloaded update 3 times gets to 100% and then says connection has timed out and I lose the lot. Any suggestions

I have been trying to download ios5 using my windows compute Windows 7. I connected Ipad and opened Itunes etc. Three times I have sat there for up to an hour downloding the program and it gets to the end (100%) sometimes it even processses the file and then I get a message saying the connection has timed out and to try again. I am on a wireless connection and it is so frustrating. I have the latest version of itunes. Any suggestions?

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

I get the message: "The connection has timed out" and can't get to my online banking

I get the message: "the connection has timed out" when accessing my online bankingsite. I never had this problem before loading Firefox. There are a few sites that give me this problem. I have cleared my cookies cache, cleared history cache, cleared my security offline storage,
Nothing works.

I went to Norton and they were trying to help me, even to the point of removing Norton. They figured it was a firewall problem and I agree. They were not able to help me, but I shut the computer down, unplugged the modem and router, waited about 10 minutes and then started plugging everything in. It all works fine. I think the error message was cached in the memory and it needed to be reset to erase it.
Hope this helps.

"The network connection has timed out" -- HELP!

Ever since i downloaded itunes 7 i have been getting this message whenever i try to access itunes
"Itunes could not connect to the itunes store. The network connection has timed out. Make sure your network settings are correct and your network connection is active, then try again."
I have tried everything that apple has suggested in their help and support pages. I no clue what to do now since my internet is running perfectly fine.
Also whenever i insert a cd into my rom, itunes wont load the album into its interface or recognize that there is even a cd in the rom. I am thinking this is occuring because itunes cant access the internet.
Does anyone have any suggestions? Thanks

I had exactly the same problem, and finally found a solution this week. If its the same problem as i had it is to do with your firewalls. I know weveryone on here keeps saying go into control panel, then firewalls and make sure itunes is selected as an exception etc etc. I did all of this and still had the same problem.
My problem laid in other firewall software that had been installed on my PC when i bought it, and not windows firewall. I have EZ Armor installed which is anti-virus and firewall software. I uninstalled the firewall part and everything works fine. I can import music from cds and gracenotes can find the track names, and i can access the itunes store. I am waiting to hear back from Computer Associates who make EZ Armor as to how i can reinstall the fireall and make itunes an exception, as obviously i would prefer to have the firewall protection.
My suggestion is to check your PC for any anti-virus and firewall software that you might not even know you are running, and uninstall it.
Hope this helps

Collab CopyProjectMetaData - the operation has timed out

For the life of me, I can't get the CopyProjectMetaData to run w/o timing out. It'll work about 1 in 10 trys if that. I'm using CopyProjectContent on the same two projects successfully everytime. But CopyProjectMetaData is basically useless. Anyone?

Hi Disu,
I assumed that you open the report builder from the report manager or you have connectted to the report server.
As you have mentioned that set the timeout value of the dataset didn't work. Please reference to the similer thread below to set the other time out in the configuration file and so on:
Report Builder 2.0 / 3.0 errors out with 'The operation
has timed out' when previewing a report saved in Report Server takes more than 10 minutes

The operation has timed out

Hello Forum,
I was running a report that was built on report builder at some point an error message of the operation has timed out will come up.
I have set the time out to 0 values and more than 600 seconds too.
On SQL the report ran within 6 minute.
Will be glad for quick response.
Thank you.

The operation has timed out default value too low - c# windows application

Hello,
I get the message that the operation has timed out when certain operations take too long, which would be any on our development/test server.
I either need to make an asychronous call which I will investigate or to find the code that sets this value to ten minutes.
Anybody know how to reset the value to ten minutes?
Thanks,
Stephanie

The timeout is occurring on the client so it not a particular error that's being returned by the server.
The default timeout with the EWS Managed API is 90 seconds and is set on the ExchangeService Object. You can set this to a higher value eg to set it to 5 minutes
server.timeout = 300000;
Why it fails ? if its overnight then Backups can be the cause eg if they are snapshotting the server or some other backup mechanism could mean the server is very busy for a time. Or any other number of specific environmental factors. This is really
a job for your Network admin to determine with server and network monitoring. I would suggest you check the EWS.Log on the Exchange server to see what happened at that time.
What you should do at a code level is handle the exception, I would suggest wait for 60 seconds after the exception (this will cater for most throttling issues) and then try the same request again. If it fails again after a pause then
you generally have a larger problem.
Cheers

I can not dowload the new updated software for my Ipod touch 4G. When i do I get an error message that says Network connection has timed out. I have done the trouble shooting steps. Downloaded the latest version of Itunes, and checked network connection

I've tried downloading iOS5 several times and after an hour each time I get a message that says my network connection has timed out. But I can't find any information about "timing out" or how to correct the situation. Any help?

Disable your antivirus and firewall, and try again.

Long time to load a first page, get "the connection has timed out" frequently.

Frequently takes a long time to get to first page. Even a "speed test" to check my DSL connection. Usually can get to "google.com" quickly but it did come up slow today (just a test for a simple page).
I have a wireless N router with it's own Firewall (which I didn't want) and I think I've turned it off. Symantec firewall, don't think WinXP firewall is on.
Tried refresh of Adobe Flash Player per suggestion in this forum, no help.
Would like to have a tool to see how long each step of getting to the web takes so I can see if there's a bottleneck.
Occasionally "try again" button works on the "connection has timed out" message.
My PC is 6 yr old. xp-home, lots of ram, HDD available. Run Symantec AV/MBAM frequently. Ran Housecall and Dr. Web- no problems.
Talked to my DSL provider and Symantec in depth. Similar lethargy when I get IE running but not as frequent as under FF. Measured my DSL speed - 5MB as promised.
When the lag occurs, Task Manager does not show FF taking a lot of processor time.
Have done the things suggested in FAQ to help with performance.
Also going to bleepingcomputer.com to see if there are suggestions there.
I'm hoping someone has experienced an analog to this and has a suggestion to diagnose and solve. Thanks - Mike.

Here's your sign! This is my problem and its solution. Let me know if someone needs help to interpret.
If you frequently get "connection timed out", go to your ISP and get Manual DNS addresses. Then beat them till they put a real fix on their system.
Problem is in the DNS server service provided by my DSL provider, Bell South/AT&T. Result of a poor performing DNS is that one can't get thru to the selected site.
If you do a web search +dsl +"time out" you will see the history with Windstream. THEY finally issues a system-wide fix which, it appears, flattened the issue. Then add +AT&T to see that experience. I did not read it all thru, I'm wasted chasing this problem. I don't give AT&T ANY credit for customer service or heading off problems for their customers on this one.
AT&T support offers me:

How do I check and update my DNS settings, if my DNS settings are not "server assigned"?
When you visit a Web site, your browser sends the site's alphabetic domain name to a DNS server. The DNS server translates the domain into a numeric IP address, then responds to your computer with the Internet location of the Web site. Incorrect DNS settings on your computer can disrupt this information flow and cause your Internet browsing to slow down or fail.
If you have trouble browsing the Internet, check your DNS settings. You likely have your DNS settings as "server-assigned." This allows DNS information to be automatically sent to your computer, which may improve your browsing experience. However, you may need to have your DNS settings manually entered
Note: If you are using a router to connect to your Internet service, check with your manufacturer's web site for instructions on updating your DNS settings with the following information:
Primary DNS: 68.94.156.1
Secondary DNS: 68.94.157.1
1. Click the Start button and select Control Panel from the menu.
2. Select Network and Internet Connections.
3. Double-click the Network Connections icon at the lower right.
4. Under the LAN or High-Speed Internet section, right-click the Local Area Connection icon and select Properties.
5. From the "Components checked are used by this connection" list, select Internet Protocol (TCP/IP), then click the Properties button.
6. Read the current DNS setting on the lower half of the TCP/IP properties screen. If the radio button Obtain DNS server address automatically is selected, you do not need to update your DNS settings. Otherwise, please continue.
7. Input the new Preferred DNS server of 68.94.156.1 and the Alternate DNS server of 68.94.157.1.
8. Click OK.
9. Return to the Network Connections screen. If you have a DSL Connection icon in the Broadband section, proceed to next step otherwise you have completed updating your DNS settings.
10. Under the Broadband section, right-click the DSL Connection icon and select Properties.
11. Select the Networking tab.
12. From the "This connection uses the following items" list, select Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) and click the Properties button.
13. Read the current DNS setting on the lower half of the TCP/IP properties screen. If the radio button Obtain DNS server address automatically is selected you do not need to up date your DNS settings. Otherwise, please continue.
14. Input the new Preferred DNS server of 68.94.156.1 and the Alternate DNS server of 68.94.157.1.
15. Click OK.
================================= end quote.
So it appears I can't put screen shots in here. Well I hope you get the gist.
In fact this is a bit hosed up.
It says if you user "automatic dns" you're OK, that's opposite of my experience.
I changed to the specified DNS addresses and things seem 99.9% fixed.
I also changed my Router (wireless) settings.
If there's a survey of my experience here I'll take it.

This is asked and answered many time each day. The forum search bar is on the right side of this page.
Disable your firewall/security software and try again.
