Server not found pops up several times when trying to get anywhere.

Every time I click on the Mozilla Firefox icon to bring up the basic page with the Google bar and I enter a Q for my home page or a Q for my university (Grand Canyon), which uses Firefox, hence my reason for using Firefox, or even if I am just using the Google to search for something, I get a pop up that tells me that the server cannot be found. In the box it shows "server cannot find" then there is some strange looking address with symbols and boxes. I click the x's and often will find my page under all of this, but it all repeats with each step, so I exit completely and just go back to using my old internet explorer. Is this like I need to re-subscribe? or is it something else?

Well I can see that this is no help either as I am not getting a response here nor any help with this matter. I will not bother you again and I will now stick to internet explorer to connect me to the internet. Thanks anyway. Bye.

    Running XP service pack 3
    AVG Internet Security 2011 Version 10.0.1388

    Many Open Directory problems can be resolved by taking the following steps. Test after each one, and back up all data before making any changes.
    1. The OD master must have a static IP address on the local network, not a dynamic address.
    2. You must have a working DNS service, and the server's hostname must match its fully-qualified domain name. To confirm, select the server by name in the sidebar of the Server application window, then select the Overview tab. Click the Edit button on the Host Name line. On the Accessing your Server sheet, Domain Name should be selected. Change the Host Name, if necessary. The server must have at least a three-level name (e.g. "server.yourdomain.com"), and the name must not be in the ".local" top-level domain, which is reserved for Bonjour.
    3. The primary DNS server used by the server must be 127.0.0.1 (that is, itself) unless you're using another server for internal DNS. The only DNS server set on the clients should be the internal one, which they should get from DHCP if applicable.
    4. Follow these instructions to rebuild the Kerberos configuration on the master.
    5. If you use authenticated binding, check the validity of the master's certificate. The common name must match the hostname and domain name. Deselecting and then reselecting the certificate in Server.app has been reported to have an effect in some cases. Otherwise delete all certificates and create new ones.
    6. Unbind and then rebind the clients in the Users & Groups preference pane. Use the fully-qualified domain name of the master.
    7. Reboot the master and the clients.
    8. Don't log in to the server with a network user's account.
    9. Disable any internal firewalls in use, including third-party "security" software.
    10. If you've created any replica servers, delete them.
    11. As a last resort, export all OD users. In the Open Directory pane of Server, delete the OD server. Then recreate it and import the users. Ensure that the UID's are in the 1001+ range.

  • "Server Not Found" pops-up when web-serfing, almost constantly, why? .

    This problem started about one week ago, when trying to get common web sites.

  • I am running 18.0.2 for mac and I get a "server not found" randomly 4-5 times a day. This is a wired connect .. can I correct this?

    When I hit the "try again" button, I connect instantly and then don't have the problem for a few hours.
    Server not found
    Firefox can't find the server at bbm.boardhost.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.

    The Reset Firefox feature can fix many issues by restoring Firefox to its factory default state while saving your essential information.
    Note: ''This will cause you to lose any Extensions, Open websites, and some Preferences.''
    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.

  • Firefox 5 gives "Server not found" for all URLs - fresh install of Fedora 15 x86_64

    Under a fresh install of Fedora 15 x86_64 on an Intel box, Firefox 5 (firefox.x86_64 5.0-2.fc15) will not display web pages. Internet connection and DNS resolution function correctly. For instance, I can correctly 'ping fedoraproject.org' but giving Firefox the URL 'http://www.fedoraproject.org' reults in a "Server not found" message. What needs to happen to get the URLs to resolve in Firefox?

    No, that was my fault. I updated my release scripts yesterday and the new ones did not create the database signature symlink. I just fixed it about 10 minutes ago.
    Change the SigLevel back to Required, otherwise Pacman will not verify the databases. Everything should be working again.

  • Most times when trying to access web sites get page stating Server Not Found..... Try Again. As soon as I hit try again I always get the web site - annoying!!!

    When I try to google websites OR even try to access my email I will be taken to a notice which states "Server Not Found" with several explanations with a TRY AGAIN button at the bottom. When I hit the try again button I am immediately taken to the web site or to my email. This happens constantly and very rarely can I access a web site or my email without this frame popping up.

    This is a very generic error message. 
    What user you are trying to search. Are you using username, display name or email address when searching
    Was any domain related changed done
    What if that users tried to logon to sharepoint site. 
    Does this error occur with all the account when you click edit? If not, based on the error,
    the user account which might be removed from Active Directory or renamed accidentally. Please have a check.

  • When i load a page i get "server not found", when i click retry it loads properly, what can i do to have firefox load page first time

    When i load a page it often tells me "server not found". When i click on retry most of the time it works. How do i fix it so that it works the first time.
    == This happened ==
    Every time Firefox opened
    == a couple months ago

    You either have an extension that causes that issue or some security software (firewall) is causing a delay.
    See [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]]
    Also make sure that Firefox gets full unrestricted access to the internet.

  • Most of the time, when I try to load the home page, I get the message server not found - now I get this message and can't go anywhere

    I have dial up - once I connect to the internet, I get the message server not found and am unable to go anywhere on the internet. This started trying to load my banks online site and started about a week ago. I've tried freeing popup blocker, gone through the settings with a bank IT specialist, tried to us IE which has resulted in a request for a cable and now no access to any website. Any suggestions appreciated. Thanks

    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.<br />
    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.

  • Surfing the web I constantly get a dialog box popping up that says "The connection was rest" or " Server not found" or "The connection has timed out"

    Surfing the web I constantly get a dialog box popping up that says "The connection was rest" or " Server not found" or "The connection has timed out". The panel gives me three possible causes, none of which are correct and tells me to "Try again". Sometimes when I try again the site appears, sometimes it does after several tries and sometimes it never does. I called my IP, Cox and they told me it is a result of something Microsoft put out in their updates to IE (presumably to discourage people from using Firefox). Can you help me get rid of this problem?

    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.

    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.

  • Server not found - approx one in three times

    For about the last five weeks I have been encountering many delays in getting to web pages and when I do download files they are taking an inordinate amount of time to go through the "download and then open process". 
    The server not found issue seems to occur on about one page in three.  When it has failed (after about 15 seconds) I usually have to try again twice more before it loads.  Clearly there isn't an address problem or it would never load.  I have been through the Helpdesk route and they cannot find a fault.  I have tried lots and seemed to make the most progress in eradicating the problem when I uninstalled NetProtect Plus and reinstalled it.  I then had no problem for about three days and after that the fault just seemed to worsen - back to its original state.
    As I said.  No problem at all until a few weeks ago.  Problem temp disappears after uninstalling and reinstalling NetProtect Plus.
    Any (good) ideas please?  Getting seriously annoyed.

    I've experienced a very similar, if not the same problem. I am running Windows XP and the problem seems to have started to happen on upgrading to IE8. When I close down the computer indicates that something to do with MacAfee (i.e. NetProtect) is 'not responding'. I don't know if this is linked to the problem or not but indicates to me that I have a software conflict somewhere! Can anyone help? Should I revert to IE7? Thks
