I posted something about this problem I am having in the intro. page, then I found this page, I have read but can't seem to find the answer..I have a pc and a mac laptop. Everything was fine until I disconnected my pc, to put it on another desk, after hooking it back up, everwhere I try to go whether typing it in or going to a bookmarked page, a page comes up saying that the server couldn't be found. I have done the 3 suggestions. My internet connection is fine (my laptop works) the firewall is set to accept firefox... , and the address is fine too. I am SO frustrated, been on the phone with my cable co, HP, all day and nothing works. I even broke down and tried running IE again, and it didn't work either. I sure hope someone can help! Also, I do not have norton, I have AFG.
Thanks in advance

Hi Keli, welcome to DaniWeb

- How are the two computers connecting to the cable modem? Does the cable modem itself allow multiple computers to be connected directly to it, or do you have the computers connected to a router or switch which then connects to the modem?

- Are the computers networked by Ethernet cables, wireless, or both?

- After moving the computer, did you hook everything back up exactly the way it was before the move? Did you use the same network wiring that you were using before the move (if you're using a wire, of course)?

If you can give us the answers to the above, we'll have a better idea of what might have happened and what you can do to fix it.

Thanks for replying, finally the cable guy came out yesterday and spent less than a minute on it and got it back up and working properly. It was something about the IP address. I suggested that to the tech people on the phone but they were convinced that it wasn't that....So, 2 days without i-net, made me realize how addicted I am, and had me checkin out "self-sustaining commune,farms" (without extras,like internet) But I have come to my senses now, and again, I thank you for replying. Now, maybe I can surf around on this site and have fun!

I am using a IBM T60 Laptop with Windows XP and am experiencing similar problems... For no apparent reason, I would suddenly be unable to get onto the internet (server not found) using Firefox or IE. Sometimes it would work again when I restart my computer. I know its not a problem with the internet connection or with the internet server, because I'm sharing the local network with flatmates and they aren't experiencing any problems....

i have same problem to excess internet with mozilla fire fox

i use fedora core 8 and i`m still noob
