Hi,
I keep getting the following message when I try to connect to the internet after switching on my computer:
The connection was reset
The connection to the server was reset while the page was loading.
* The site could be temporarily unavailable or too busy. Try again in a few
moments.
* 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.
Then after a while I click on try again and it connects but it is annoying having to do this every time
What can I do to stop this from happening again?
I am using Windows XP Home Edition with Firefox version 3.5.5 and Comodo Firewall 3.12 if this helps.

Re: Error message when trying to connect to internet
Did you follow the advise of that last error message and check the firewall settings? http://kb.mozillazine.org/Firewalls

Re: Error message when trying to connect to internet
I have configured the firewall as per the instructions but I am still getting the same error message. Any other suggestions?

Re: Error message when trying to connect to internet
I am still occasionally getting the above message when I try to connect to Firefox. This has started happening since I updated to version 3.5
Has any one else had this problem?
