No internet, "PPPoE Server Not Found" message. Same problem with both old and new modems.

Help please!
My internet connection with my old Westell 6100 modem was working fine, then quit all of the sudden and would not restart. The DSL and Data lights on the Westell modem were both green. The Internet light alternated between red and off.
I tried every troubleshooting thing I could think of:
Powering down and re-starting the modem and computer.
Resetting the modem.
Checking all of the wire and jack connections.
I plugged my computer ethernet cable straight into the modem, bypassing my router.
I tried both Windows and Mac computers.
I plugged the modem directly into the network interface on the outside of my house to bypass all of my house wiring.
I checked all my phone jacks with a telephone tester to make sure both phone lines were working and not reverse-wired.
I made sure I did not have a DSL filter installed on the modem line.
Verizon Tech Support did a line test and told me the line was fine but that there might be a problem with either my modem or something at the "central office" (not sure what that means). Verizon also sent me a new router as well -- a D-Link DSL-2750B.
The new D-Link router also does not connect to the internet (same problem). The DSL, Data, and Internet lights are all green on the D-Link. I have the computer directly connected to the modem with a new ethernet cable. I repeated the above troubleshooting steps. I went into the router configuration 192.168.1.1 and ran the modem's "Internet Troubleshooting" tests.
There were two error messages on the router configuration screens:
1."PPPoE Server not found" error message is shown on the summary screen.
2."No internet infrastructure present. Please call your infrastructure provider." is shown in the "internet troubleshooting" test results.
Verizon had me change some settings inside the router configuration -- no dice. Verizon ran another line test. A "Level 2 Tech" took over the call and told me that he thinks that the cause of the problem is that the outside wiring coming to my house is reverse-wired. How can this be true since my DSL worked for 2 years before this, my phone line tester indicates my phone lines are wired the right way, and my router reports "PPPoE Server Not Found?"
Verizon is sending out a repair tech to check the outside wiring but I don't think that is the problem at all.
HELP!
Solved!
Go to Solution.

If you're getting DSL sync (solid DSL light), this sounds like a case of a bad line card to me. I've seen it happen before where it wasn't an account or route issue to the network.

I use images for presentations. Recently I've noticed a decrease in quality ( sharpness and definition) of pictures copied into Keynote. Same problem with both JPEGs and TIFF files. I've recently upgraded to keynote 09, but with no improvement.

I use images of paintings for presentations. Over the last 3 months or so I've noticed that I cannt copy images (either JPEg or TIFF) without a reduction in sharpness and definition. Hope someone can help with this problem.

Figured it out myself! yay! (only took my entire moring)
The solution:
Dont print to PDF!
SAVE AS COPY, then select Adobe PDF and click SAVE, this will bring up a dialog box with the options you need (including the "High Quality Print" Adobe PDF Preset)
This was not clear in any of the instructions i read

Firefox periodically shows "server not found" message for Verizon/Yahoo email. Often self corrects in 5 to 10 minutes ?

System is Windows VISTA. While on Verizon/Yahoo mail Firefox will lose the connection and shoe a "server not found" message. Explorer will connect with no problem to the email server. The problem self corrects with in 5 or 10 minutes but this may happen 5 or 6 time in a day.
Is this a Firefox problem with proxy access. Settings appear to be the same.

i forgot to mention , that when i striped this machine back down to 10.3.7 and before i re built i did do a hardware check with the original install Disks [3] and every thing came back clean.
the weird ness with the colors on window, if i pass a app like text edit over the area , the color will not cover the app but stay in the background.
when i first saw this color thing i had the preference pane out and was moving it around on screen and the colors were bleeding off of the preference pane onto the screen.
if you have any idea as to what is going on here let me know.
thank you

Server not found message

after updating firefox server not found message comes up. i tried all the suggestions in the troubleshooting section for this error in addition i reinstalled firefox completely. internet explorer is still working

A possible cause is security software (firewall) that blocks or restricts Firefox or the plugin-container process without informing you, possibly after detecting changes (update) to the Firefox program.
Remove all rules for Firefox from the permissions list in the firewall and let your firewall ask again for permission to get full unrestricted access to internet for Firefox and the plugin-container process and the updater process.

Thank you for the link, but I am not sure how this is going to help me: I am not booting straight to an X session, but prefer to log into TTY1 and have my login shell handle everything from there.
Here is the relevant part of my .zprofile:
if (( UID )); then
[[ -z $DISPLAY && $XDG_VTNR -eq 1 ]] && exec systemd --user
fi
As far as I understand, your method works if I enable the [email protected] template when actually booting straight to X.

Firefox (& Safari) open incorrect (undesirable!) website or I get a 'server not found' message.

Firefox (& Safari) redirect both Google searches and web addresses to an undesirable Chinese website (www.5542.com). They have both become very slow and often give a 'Server not found' message when accessing various sites. I believe it could be malware(?) or similar. I've tried to block the unwanted site but it keeps on appearing. I'm running two macs and it's happening on both of them. I'm not especially experienced with web jargon etc. so please speak slowly with any instructions! Thanks for your help. Andy

Thanks for your help Moses but these Malware removal links are for Windows and I'm on Mac OS 10.4.9 on the laptop and 10.5.6 on the main machine.
One of the problems is that I can't do too much Googling for help before I run into the www.5542.com or 'Can't find the server' problems. Any more suggestions or other useful forums I could try?

"Server Not Found" Message when downloading Flash Player

Hello,
I am trying to download Macromedia Flash Player using my
Firefox browser, but when I click on "Download Now" an error
message appears:
"Server not found
Firefox can't find the server at fpdownload.macromedia.com.
* Check the address for typing errors such as
ww.example.com instead of
www.example.com
* If you are unable to load any pages, check your computer's
network
connection.
* If your computer or network is protected by a firewall or
proxy, make sure
that Firefox is permitted to access the Web."
There is no such problem when I use Internet Explorer, but my
preferred browser is Firefox. Is there any reason why Firefox can't
access the server? Or is there another site I can download Flash
from?
I downloaded the latest Firefox version a couple of days ago,
v1.5.0.2
I use Windows ME.
Thanks,
HeywoGr

sounds like a local issue on your end with firefox. I can
connect with FF here:
http://www.macromedia.com/shockwave/download/download.cgi?P1_Prod_Version=ShockwaveFlash
Maybe restart FF?

Firefox opens websites when hard wired to router, but when using wireless I get a server not found message.

Firefox (3.6.10) opens websites when hard wired to router, but when using wireless I get message: SERVER NOT FOUND FIREFOX CAN'T FIND THE SERVER AT SEARCH.AVG.COM. My homepage is http://www.google.com/firefox?client=firefox-a&rls=org.mozilla:en-US:official. My anti-virus is AVG free 8.5.448. What can cause this?
If Work Offline is checked in Firefox File, I can get to Google search site. When I un-check it I still get the Server Not Found message

Did you check the connection settings?

If you do not need to use a proxy to connect to internet then try to select "No Proxy" if "Use the system proxy settings" or one of the others do not work properly.

Server not found when switching from 4g to wifi and vice versa.

I've had this issue for a while across multiple phones and multiple versions of Firefox for Android, and it does not happen with any other browser (which is upsetting). Whenever I am surfing the web and have multiple tabs open, and I switch from 4g to wifi or vice versa, I always get a "Server not found" error on both existing tabs and new tabs. This is an annoying issue that I am surprised to see hasn't been fixed. The only way I've been able to fix it is to quit and relaunch the app. I have tried removing plug-ins and reinstalling, but it has not helped.
Anything I could do to alleviate the issue?
LG G2 and Samsung Galaxy Note 3. Both on Android 4.4.2
Firefox for Android Ver. 35.0.1

Hi scruffy90:
You wrote "LG G2 and Samsung Galaxy Note 3. Both on Android 4.4.2 Firefox for Android Ver. 35.0.1 "
I just tried switching between HSPA+ aka 3G and WiFi on a Galaxy S5 running Android 5 and have had no issues but I think this may have been an issue in the past (I did a search for a bug in bugzilla.mozilla.org but couldn't find anything).
Are there any other details you could provide that could help us debug?
e.g.
# Are you using a proxy?
# Who is your WiFi provider?
# Have you tried other WiFi (e.g. the Wifi both at home and work)
Cheers!

Hello Roland,
No proxy on the phone or wi-fi network.
My ISP is Time Warner, but I supply my own router (Linksys e4200)
And this happens on every wi-fi network, at home and away from home.

I can't comment on foxnews. Same problem with all three browsers IE, FF and Chrome. The login does not appear on the right hand corner and the comment link does not appear on any article. I already checked to ensure cookies and 3rd party cookies were enabled. I've gone to DISQUS, but it won't let me login there either...doesn't recognize my ID or email addy. Suggestions?.

It appears they've shut down all commenting due to the troll antics on the site. The pornographic images they were posting and the racial attacks (among other things) when posing as conservatives may well have caused this. The Disqus filter wasn't effective in that it is easy to get around. Too bad as it was a great place to vent.

Am attempting to set up a Wi Fi network with an airport extreme. Get most of the way through the setup (have a dsl modem) but get an error that it cannot connect to the internet. Says I have a problem with a DSN server and asks for what appears to be a series of numbers. I had an old airport express working for some time and never saw this.
Decided to upgrade since the express was not powerful enough to work in the whole house.

It is always a good idea when changing out networking hardware to perform a complete power recycle of all of your networking gear.
Please try the following:
Power-down the modem, AirPort Extreme Base Station (AEBS), and computer(s). Leave them powered-off for at least 10-15 minutes.
Power-up the modem; wait at least 10-15 minutes to make sure that is has enough time to initialize.
Power-up (plug into power) the AEBS; wait at least 5-10 minutes or until its status light is a solid green. (Note: The status light may continue to flash amber after this timeframe. This is ok as it may just be letting you know that some additional configuration items need to be taken care of like setting up wireless security.)
Power-up the computer(s).
Computers connected to the AEBS by either wire or wireless should now be able to access the Internet. Please post back your results.

Since downloading Firefox 5 last week, we cannot access the internet. The message "server not found" pops up along with the statement "firefox can't find the server at (whatever webpage you enter). How can this problem be fixed..other browsers stink.

as stated above. I don't know what else to say.

(The annoying error) Internet Explorer cannot display this page Solved
This problem can be solved in seconds with just 8 or 10 clicks of your mouse. As you are reading this you are already in Internet explorer. At the top left hand side of your screen you should see the below words.
File Edit View Favourites Tools Help
If you can't see the above words then right click on any blank area on the third bar from the top of your screen and click on menu bar
Now click on Tools then click on Internet Options. Then click on the Advanced tab at the top right hand side of that page. Now click on the Reset button near the bottom right hand side. Now close and then re-open your Internet explorer.
That's it folks you're all done! Best regards to you all, PROBE
