"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.

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.

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?

Get 'server not found' for only one web site, works on other computers

This is a secure site for which I have an account to do business. Get same results in Explorer and on my windows smartphone. Checked and it is not a restricted site in security options.

You're welcome.
I got redirected to that page when I went to http://www.primericaonline.com<br />
They may have changed that recently if it worked in the past.

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

Getting "server not found" errors randomly. If I reload the page comes up fine. Why?

I'm on a Mac running 10.6.5 and using Firefox 3.6.13. All of the sudden pages I visit all the time are coming up with "server not found" errors, but when I refresh the page comes up fine. Sometimes the page loads, but in html code and all jumbled.
How do I fix this? Very annoying. I've been using Firefox for years and it's never done this. Nothing's changed with my connection or settings.

You detailed the situation very well dezi.
Amazing that so many people have this problem yet NONE of these so called "AWESOME" developers deem it important enough to address the issue.
I still have the exact same lame problem as you with 3.6.whatever it is now.
There are quite a few of these random"Server not found" threads scattered around here,all with a mounting number of "people have this problem"
On my old MacBook Pro, which runs 3.5.16, I have no such issue.
After 6 weeks of exhaustive research the only thing I have found is a fix aimed at PC users in which you alter the about:config settings (not that it would work for us or that if it is even possible) that affect something called DNS fetching. I am not a computer person so all the jargon about do this-do that goes over my head. However, to get this solved I will learn what it takes.
I hope we get some real answers soon
(and none of that "empty your cache and cookies" garbage either)

Frustrated as hell

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,

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?

When I try to access a web page or link from a web page I receive an error message like "Server not found" or "Unable to connect." After repeated "try again" attempts the page will load, but when I click on a button or link, the same thing repeats. Why?

"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?

I keep getting the following error "server not found.....firefox can't find the server at http." when I try to log on to one certain website.

I was able to access this website prior to 2 weeks ago. I can access this website on other computers without issues, and I can also access all other websites on this computer.
The following is what is listed in the navigation bar when I get the error message.
http://iphantom.com/wisd/restricted.html?fn=Default&FP=l&ip=10.201.5157&ibip=66.206.97.9&ldu=l&re=0&bu=wps.prenhall.com
I noticed it says wisd/restricted, but I can log on to this website using my wisd computer without issue, and I get the same error message at my home/other locations. So I know that it is not restricted. I have used all the other suggestions "no proxy", shut down firewalls, but nothing has worked.
Any help with this matter will be greatly appreciated.
Thank you,
Cody

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?

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.

Server not found when trying to access our credit union.

Our credit union address is part of our bookmarks. About half the time we get an error message that says "Server not found".
It says to check the address for typos, check the network connection or make sure that Firefox is permitted to access the web.

Hi sws23, and a warm welcome to the forums!
Open System Preferences>Network>Configure>Proxies Tab, make sure none are set, like for HTTPS.
