Server not found...

[bbwannabe]

Anyone getting these? Don't know if it's a local issue or a national issue.
I have to refresh a couple of times to get the page to show properly.

Server not found
Firefox can't find the server at cableforum.co.uk.
* 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.

TS5 (Boro) Area. I thought it was a google issue at first since it first happened when searching but now it seems to happen to pretty much every site i've been on.

[Muppetz]

Me too - Harrogate HG3 area


Suspect an issue with Virgins DNS servers ?

[Holylucifer]

Thank god i thought my £100 router was playing up :/ .

I Have this problem of refreshing webpages here at Bournemouth the bh9 area....

Sometimes when it does load a webpage at first the page does not look the way it is ment to, if i refresh again it does look the way it is ment to,

if i go onto ps3 online,sometimes i can not log into gta4 server via the in game mobile phone i have to re load the game and sometimes it works,

What on earth is going on here?

Started doing this yesterday for me. I could be happliy browsing any web site. Navigate away to another then get Server not found on a site I had been viewing only 5 minutes before. Tried with IE and Safari, both having same problems, also tried with desktop & laptop with same results.
Also noticed that lots of embedded pictures on forums etc are not displaying.:mad:

Used my ZEN dial up and that works fine, if rather slowly.

Guys, could this be related to my post "DNS Cache". Try & repair your connection & see.

[iadom]

Did that last night and again today to no avail.

Jim.

[Cobbydaler]

Tried changing your DNS server?

[donkey1982]

this also been happenin to me for past 2 days! very annoying havin to load page 2-3 times to view! im in portsmouth.

[squirrel1970]

SK5 - doing it here too... thought it was just me... every site so far seems affected and nothing seems to improve it other than having to reload and reload and reload...

[Holylucifer]

well that is great a nationwide refresh fest..

i must admit after repairing connection,i have had no connection problems..as i know when your connected to a website you can refresh it without problems,well for me it was.

hopefully d-link will tell me why i can't see wan on my d-link dgl4300 to change the dns on the latest firmware as well.

if you go to this link below and see the pictures you will see wan ,

Nah.....

Thanks for viewing :P

[chickendippers]

Noticed no such problem, but I'm using OpenDNS :)

[Holylucifer]

bleh i would love to use opendns,if my router supported wan,but really it seems a simple repair worked for me so far,but if the problem comes again i must be prepared to use opendns on router or not.

I've been having probs like this for weeks now.

http://www.cableforum.co.uk/board/19/33635705-intermittent-internet-access.html

It seems to come and go but is pretty bad at the moment. It certainly seems to be worse with subdomains other than www. Ebay is virtually unusable today. It certainly seems to help if I use the Renfrew proxy.

[BuckleZ]

Happening in Northern Ireland too in BT47 area

[Impz2002]

open DNS is the way forward. VM's DNS servers are very tempramental so just use open DNS its much more reliable.

[Holylucifer]

I Have had no problems with the refresh,thanks for all the help guys,

[Itshim]

Get this problem all the time. On a PC not using anything to do with Virgin. So its must be google or even a firefox fault. I just retry its never failed YET!!!!

[jonbr]

VM's DNS servers are very tempramental
Impz

And VM seem to never realise their DNS servers have failed!

[jcardiff]

been having this problem myself for the past few days in cardiff and my father has as well in london

[Maggy]

But,but,but hasn't the world of www always been like this?It never lasts and eventually things are restored.:confused:

I've always shrugged my shoulders and left and tried again later..eventually it all works it fine...:)

[squirrel1970]

hmm.. I'm wondering, that flaw thats been found as regards the way web addresses are handled and the subsequent patch that was released to fix it.... I'm wondering if thats got anything to do with it all as most of us, regardless, havent had problems like this until VERY recently.

Either the patching hasn't been done and a half-hearted attempt has failed or the patch needs a patch??

Just a guess, don't shoot me down in flames :D
(and nobody seems to have mentioned it yet either...!)
