(PS: paypal.com also gives me this message below....

Unable to connect

Firefox can't establish a connection to the server at my.screenname.aol.com.


* The site could be temporarily unavailable or too busy. Try again in a few
moments.

* 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.


ALSO.... WHEN I GO TO SQUIRREL MAIL OR CPANEL, IT DOES NOT HAVE THE POP UP LOG IN... IT USE TO... NOW IT JUST KEEPS THE LOADING THING.. YOU CLICK ONE IF YOUR BEHIND FIREWALL AND THE OTHER OPTION IF YOUR NOT..


internet explorer works fine...

any help with this is gladly appreciated!!!

 

1. in your firewall setting, except firefox from the list of blocked apps.

2. Turn the firewall off for a sec and try firefox again.

3. report back here

 

still cant figure out how to get that unable to connect error to work

i turned it off.. still has the problem

 

try connecting:
1.wired to the router.
2. wired connected to the modem.

Let me know the output of both.

 

i turned wireless off.. then i took the ethernet cord and plugged into my laptop.. internet works fine.. tried going to paypal and i get that error again.. cannot connect..

i re installed firefox to... and now yahoo.com mail log in does the same thing.

 

connect to modem, eliminate the router completely

 

i cant.. i have to have wireless in my house..

but i tried and i get errors unable to connect..

yahoo now, ebay, myspace, facebook, when i sign on aim it usually welcomes me on the internet, it has it now..

what else can i try to do?

 

Scan your computer for a virus.

 

than clean up your machine since this sounds like a application problem.

You you have an anti-virus/-spyware-firewall program(firewall besides windows')?

It's not a signal issue if you say that it doesn't work wired either and I'm assuming that you allow everything through your firewall, the router doesn't seem to block anything so it was to be something down to the apps.

Do a clean wipeout and reinstall of those programs that don't work and check your pc for spyware and viruses

 

Try using OpenDNS

208.67.222.222
208.67.220.220

Put this in Prefferred and Alternate DNS.

This might help you guys

i was thinking... i am getting the unable to connect thing everytime i try to log in somewhere.. like:

ebay, facebook, myspace, yahoo.. etc..

is there a option to enable log in scripts or w.e


also my laptop is llike brand new.. couple weeks old.. i dont have like anything downloaded.. i have no viruses or infections... and i tried re installing fire fox but it didnt work.

 

You find those FF options in Tools>Options>Content

 

what am i looking at then?.. i see the options but what do i do now?

 

Yeah, reading through this thread, the only thing I can think of that could be an issue would be an app like NoScript that is blocking scripts from running.

I have many many many times gotten frustrated over why a site wouldn't load, only to notice the red circle with a line through it on the bottom right of my screen.

Reinstall browser/Attempt with different Browser.

 

1. Enable javascript + java....tick those boxes

2. click ok

3. restart FF

 

they all work perfect with IE... i treid installing FF and i get same same problem..

how do i install the app or w.e ?


also.. i went to content, all of the boxes are already checked....

 

install java?

read my second last post

 

i installed that yesterday..

 

just re installed java..

guess that didnt help..

ill literally pay someone via paypal to help fix this.

 

anymore help???
