Any website I go to will not display. I am definitely connected to my ISP while doing this. I have checked wires and connections, done a diagnostic. Still won't display. I don't know if this is a software or hardware problem. Pretty sure it is not an ISP problem.
This started when I got a message box asking me if I would allow a connection with an outside source and because I wasn't comfortable with the site I had just clicked on, I said no. Does that make any difference?
Thanks, Susan
while opening firefox it says that we have to close .sorry for inconvienience. please report to microsoft
Good morning, Susan; Hmmmm, sounds like an interesting one! Doesn't sound like hardware or even software. I think that we are dealing with a configuration problem. Maybe you answers to a couple of questions might bring us closer to a resolution. First, can you presently send and receive e-mail? When you stated that you had done a diagnostic, what diagnostic or type of diagnostic did you do? What type of operating system are you using? Vista, XP home or Pro, Windows 2000, or.....? Let me know and we'll go from there. Thanks, and have an excellent day! Ron-
Even pressing no would of activated a spoof web page, run your anti virus and spyware programmes and delete cookies, temp internet files and history.
You may need to do this in safe mode (pressing F8 on boot up) as the programme is obviously running in the background.
Also click Start>run, then type msconfig, a box will pop up, click on start up tab and look for any suspicious programmes, that may relate to the pop up that you got, if so untick it and than restart your pc.
Also check that your homepage has not been hijacked, IE7 allows you to see what activex controls are being used in your browser, and you can dissallow them, but i am not familiar with Firefox browser.

Are you able to view other websites? If yes, then what is the name of that website that is showing a blank page? Usually, if the website is down, or loads up so slow, it reaches a time being idle, thus will show a blank page. Try to view that site using http://babelfish.yahoo.com and test if you can load. If yes, then that means your current connection is having problems connecting to that site's server. Try refreshing several times by hitting CTRL F5. If it still does not load, then let your isp know about it since this could be a routing error from their end.
try one of the solutions given below
1.If facebook is the only website that is not loading or is showing a error then there might be some kind a browsing problem on your server .Don't worry you don't need to do anything just wait for some time it will be solved automatically.Actually some times the connection of your server fails with the server of the website.
you can even re check by :- go to run and
ping facebook.com -t in the box and hit ok check if there is continuous response from the server if the reply is not continuous try after some time there is browsing problem with your server in that case.
2.If none of the websites are opening then there is a problem with your network connection may be your server is down,LAN has limited connectivity which does not reaches qualify to the bandwidth of the website you are trying to view.Contact Your ISP in that case they will assist you with something.
hope this solves some of you problem ..
Please be specific with the Issue Because you are generalising the issue by saying that webpage cannot be displayed......
TRY FEW OF THIS STEPS
1>> PLEASE CHECK THE INTERNET CONNECTION
START-----RUN----TYPE CMD-----TYPE CONFIG----CHECK THE IP ADDDRESS & TYPE PING *IP* & CHECK WHETHER THERE IS ANY DATA LOSS IF NO THEN THE IP CONNECTIONS ARE CORRECT & IF YES THEN THIS IS A ISP ISSUE......CONTACT ISP
Your ISP has specific requirements for connecting a router to their equipment. For some the default router settings connect successfully. Some Telcos require PPPoE logins to access the network, you may either be given a static IP address or be required to accept a dynamic IP address. You need to determine from your ISP often from a help website, a chat with a technician or phone support what those requirements are. Another possibility is failure to include DNS addresses either in the router or in the network adapter's IP configuration.
Open Internet Explorer, under the tools tab, select "Internet options". Once there, select the "Connections" tab. At the top you will see, "To setup and Internet connection, click "Setup", click on "Setup", once there, click "next", On the next page, make sure "connect to the internet" is selected and click next. On the next page click, "Setup my connection manually", click next. On the next page select(Make sure it reads exactly as follows), "Connect using a broadband connection that is always on", click next. On the next page, click "finish". That should do it.
It sounds like your Internet Explorer browser is not configured correctly, or else your are not connecting to the ISP in the right way. First check to see if it is a firewall problem, though. Turn the firewall off and try to connect to the web; if it works, you have a firewall configuration problem which is easily fixed by tweaking the settings.
If this fails, try downloading (at work maybe) a copy of Firefox browser from www.mozilla.com and installing that and see if it can connect and browse the web. If the firewall asks you for permission to let Firefox access the web, say yes. Even with a firewall, Internet Explorer is not very safe, so try Firefox first. If Firefox works, the problem is with Internet Explorer settings (such as proxy).
If this doesn't work, it might be that your router or wireless rig is not connecting properly, or something configuration related.
As a last resort, try going to the start bar and then clicking on RUN and then entering "CMD" and enter. Then type in "ping www.mit.edu" and enter. If it responds "Request timed out", then you have connectivity problems between your machine and the ISP, and it is unlikely to be a browser problem. Try reinstalling whatever software your ISP gave you for connecting, and reviewing all of the network settings. Try all this with the firewall turned off temporarily.
