    Connection Interruption Error Page
    « on: May 19, 2009, 08:22:35 AM »
    The past few weeks I get a lot of the same type of errors when opening Firefox or IE .... a page appears and says "Connection Interrupted" and below it says "your internet connection does not seem to be working" .... but it IS working! I refresh the page, and sometimes it will go ahead and load correctly, but half the time it won't. Doesn't matter what site I'm headed toward, half the time I get this error page!

    Lately I'm also getting a lot of email errors that refer to sockets and one is like this:

    "Socket Error: XXXXX, Port: XXX, [numbers removed] Protocol: POP.A connection attempt failed because the connected party did not properly respond after a period of time, or established connection failed because connected host has failed to respond."

    We had a wireless router setup and just went to a wired setup, but I don't know why that would make a difference? We have four computers in the house.

    It's like an alien is living inside my computer and sometimes takes control! I run all the virus protection programs I know of, but no red flags.

    ANY help would be greatly appreciated!

    Do you have more that one computer on your home network?  Does this happen with all of them?  Sounds like an intermittent fault which could be caused by almost anything - poor network cables, faulty network cards, faulty router, faulty telephone wiring, etc, etc.

      We replaced our wireless router to a wired router.

      I restored a previous checkpoint on my computer.  This computer is the only one that has this problem.

      I haven't seen the error in a couple days now.  Hopefully it's gone for good!

      Appreciate your input!

        Believe it or not, yesterday after I posted that, I went to some other sites and BAM, got the error again!  Right now, I don't know what else to do. 

        USUALLY, when I refresh the page, it loads, so I guess until I come up with another bright idea, I'll just tolerate it for now.  OY VAY!

        Try replacing the network cable to the computer that's displaying these symptoms.  It sounds like a hardware-level fault to me.
