Hello: I use XP with all the power packs; and the Firefox 3.0 browser. I've never had a problem with it. Today, though, when I want to use it I get this message: Connection interrupted The network link was interrupted while negotiating a connection. Please try again

   I use an ADSL connection which has not been interrupted. Further, my IE works fine so there seems to be a problem with Firefox. How can I find the problem and deal with it?
Thanks
DrDhmmm...You don't have a router do you?OH, Blake, yes I do. I have a router for an external modem. And, that night, I had shut if off and on again. Could this kill the hard?
Do tell.

Dr. DDr.D, i don't believe it would kill the hard. There can be a few reasons for this problem. I have heard many people with these problems. Everyones CASE is different, so i'm GOING to lay out some instances and solutions

1.If you have zonealarm uninstall it. (Zonealarm and firefox 3 cause interference problems.)

2.Try disabling active web scanning components in your anti-virus program (I don't use firefox,so i don't know if it has its own anti-virus PROGRAMS or what.)

3.This one i have heard very good feedback from so try this first..
In firefox, type: "about:config" in the address bar
then, type in "ipv6" in the top filter bar
if the value = "false", right click and select "toggle".
the value now should change from "false" to "true".

4. Now, if number 3 didn't work, and the others failed then you can try RESETTING your router back to factory settings.

5.Also, if you have Peerguardian or peergaurdian 2 uninstall it.That messes with the connection with firefox.

Hope this HELPED.Give me feedback and let me know,

DrD...
This issue has nothing to do with the drive dying...
Did you give your son the link to the Slave Drive Tutorial i posted for you in your other thread ? ?"patio" I didn't say it did either lol....Anyways
Try those first. Number 3 seemed to have great feedback.
