resolving host ? what does this mean
sometimes i am unable to surf the web even as i am connected. in the left bottom corner of F.F. it will say " resolving host www.yahoo.co.uk" for example . but the page will not load, and F.F. say something like url does not exist. i then try maybe google.com or www.bbc.co.uk the same happens again . what is happening?

Your firewall is most likely blocking FF. If you have Norton Personal Firewall, and I don't, you need to look through it to find where it lists programs allowed to connect to the internet. When you find FF, remove it from that list and launch FF. When it asks you if it's okay to connect, say yes, and remember this answer next time (kind of thing).
The nice thing about standards in computing is that there are so many from which to choose.
