CANNOT FIND SERVER
Hey I am getting the cannot find server error in IE. A lot like i am not connected to the internet. But i am, i can ping websites like google and stuff. It is just the IE side of things and OE. I checked proxy settings and made sure they are disabled and reset all settings to default. I think it might be a virus possibly and causing a loop back. I know there is a text file that you can edit. I just can't remember the name or the location of it. If anyone can help that would be great.
Thanks
Thanks

swinger22 I have been getting page not found a lot lately, and with a full speed dsl connection, $$$$ I kinda put it donw to the rain cyclones dampened lines, to make sure I ran this line speed tester, seems ok a little bit under. But they do say it needs a small amount for the server, at least I have peace of mind.. it is the www
I ran this test over and over and the bandwidth fluctuates a lot.
I also run the cmd ping my router 192.168.1.1 and returns ping fine.
You coul dcheck how often your router reboots itself, even with always on they still reboot it once a day.
The router has a log.
why not try it your self, all you need to know is what speed your account is supposed to be.

In the end we just formatted and reloaded windows. and it worked fine. I am guessing it was a virus/malware of some sort. Thanks for all the input though guys.
wow, thank you for the points then. Gee I hope you didnt lose too much stuff.
Yeah sometimes why beat yourself out formatting seems to be the way to go, I have all my files ie programs on a slave for the very same reason.
When windows crashes it is just easy to clean install.
You all have a nice day.

why should he reset his modem to default settings and erase any possible configuration within the modem? are you positive its not going to need reconfiguration once that has been done? if they did this to the wrong device and its not required, your just causing headaches.
why do you suggest replacing the modem? what are you troubleshooting? Do you throw a car out when the gas runs out too?
