When loading web pages I timeout and get a "server not found" error.
This is happening about 65% of the time. I am running xp sp2 with firefox 2.0.
 
are you wireless?

are you trying to hit sites that you know are up(ie. google, cnn, etc.)?

have you tried IE?

do you have a firewall? check those settings?

check you internect connections in controls, see if anything looks odd in sent and recieved packets?
 
I checked my firewall, firefox is in exceptions list, if that matters. Don't like ie, all major sites work fine-yahoo, msn, cnn, etc. I don't know what DHCP is. Not wireless. This just started recently, everything was fine before.
 
Anybody else on your network? DO you use a router? Have you contacted your ISP to see if they are screwing with their equipment? Any new software or hardware installed recently?
 
Yes i do have a router for my wifes laptop, but she's not having any trouble. I have downloaded different themes for firefox, thats the only thing new, I think. Maybe I'll try undoing that and see. Thanks alot for all the replies.
 
Didn't help. I should have said before that when I hit the try again button the site comes right up.
