nope.i just switched the firewall off entirely. still nothing.
the only thing i can think of is that this computer runs so slow that firefox is timing out before it connects, even though there IS a connection. but i can't find an option to lengthen the time-out time. [and i could be talking total bollocks...]

firefox seems tohave a pitifully low timeout threshold.
I have a 20Mb connection but if I have any kind of uploading going on in the background all my pages in FF will timeout.
Firefox 3 RC1 has just been released, I'm going to try tat to see if there is any change.

Probably one of the settings if you type about:config in the addess bar changes the timeout time.maybe network.http.keep-alive.timeout?

Yeah.It's been annoying and confusing for some time because it used to be fine. I changed nothing in the config apart from the netmax half open value and I have done that forever with no problems.
As soon as I have any p2p network transfer FF2 will fail to find a page a good 90% of the time.
Edit:// and now it works fine with the update. Shame that none of my addons work apart from adblock. If adblock had been borked it would have been out of the window.
I'm on FF3 RC1 now, just installed it so I'm back to whatever those defaults are and I'll give it a test run to see if it has changed anything.

it all depends upon the package you get.but on its own it is a tenner a month for 3 months and then £20 a month after that. It has come down, I was paying £35 for it.
The good news is that it is expected to go up to 50MB this year for the same price.
