Roger77 is right. And you also have to right click and set the properties of the command window. Give it a big scrollback buffer, and while you're at it give it 50 lines instead of a measly 25. Then be sure to save the settings so they're not just saved to the current session. Now you'll be able to read your DNS cache (500 lines of it anyway). I forget to tell people that this stuff doesn't work very well straight out of the box.

Maybe it would show clues on wrong IP address or some such. Just an idea.
Here's another. If you haven't done this already, next time you for sure can't read a site, try accessing it by IP address. If that works, you can try adding that site to your HOSTS file (it's a file called "HOSTS". You can Google it, or someone else can help you. I've got to go now.

Can't get anything to connect
Firefox 1.0.6
Windows XP SP2
I have windows firewall disabled.
I have Norton Internet Security, but it is turned off and not loaded.
I have tried rebooting, uninstalling, uninstalling then rebooting, nothing.
I can ping www.google.com no problem. Tried the IP and the URL, and I got both times:
The connection was refused when attempting to contact the proxy server you have configured. Please check your proxy settings and try again.
I checked the OCSP and reset it to "Do not use...", no effect.
I turned off my proxy information by setting to direct, and got:
the connection was refused when attempting to contact www.gammon.com.au
I have tried the same adress with IE both with and without proxy. Both attempts worked fine.
I am behind a linksys router, but no settings on it have changed and it worked fine with 1.0.4 . If anyone has any idea, I would be muchly appreciative.

Can't get Firefox to work anymore
I just updated my Firefox to 1.0.6, and now when I try to open it says "start.mozilla.org. could not be found. Please check the name and try again." I'm NOT a computer genius... I tried removing and reinstalling it but still have the same problem. Please tell me what's wrong, and what I need to do to fix it.
Thanks for your help.

Does anyone read the soultions people post? Posting I have the same problem over and over again doesn't really help anyone. Start at the first post READ, then try the solutions in this thread and in
"The connection was refused..." - THE SOLUTION - MozillaZine Forums
Once you have tried to fix the problem please explain the steps you took, and what worked or didn't work.
Whatever you do DO NOT waste your time uninstalling/reinstalling Firefox.
The problem can be narrowed down to a couple of things: Firewall, DNS, proxy, other software like Anti-virus causing problems.

Re-installing will not help, as it leaves your profile alone, and that's where all your setting preferences are.

Recent isolated issues
I'm running Fx 1.0.6, only service pack 1, no firewalls, no virus protection currently installed. Two days ago I started receiving the "The document contains no data" message with regard to only a single site, http://games.espn.go.com. I've tried the above fixes, that I understood, and it hasn't helped. Should this problem be isolated to just a single site? Does that help figure out which solution above is best? Thanks.
