Hello:
I use Firefox 2.0.0.8 as well as IE 7
I seem to have no problem connecting to internet sites.
However, I'm often unable to connect to the sites:
http://www.mozilla.org/
https://addons.mozilla.org
https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/extensions/
and I'm told that the connection has timed out.
My internet connection is DSL via a Linksys router
These connection problems occur in IE 7 as well when I'm unable to connect
via Firefox, which is my default browser.
When those sites are inaccesible, I'm also unable to update Firefox Add-ons
via:
Tools-->Add-ons-->Find Updates ,
The process often hangs with errors while trying to find the updates.
I've tried disabling my Zone Alarm firewall, and re-enabling the built-in
windows XP Firewall, but this doesn't change matters.
These problems occur most of the time I try to connect to these sites or
update the add-ons. But at other times, they work fine.
Any ideas here?
Thanks in advance:
-Eli
