| Problem connecting certain websites par  PaulZero |
Monday February 4, 2008 07:46:48 AM |
which OS is running on your pc?
is it only these 2 websites you have this issue? is it sporadic or constantly? do you have several ports open or listening ? type netstat -a and take a look if you ping google.com and ping these websites (ebay, facebook) just compare the delay of time. you can make a tracert as well. let me know. ciao
|
yeah i have the same problem, im on xp and it is basicly only these 2 sites.
they dont work most of the time. my pings are: 3.61 for google 96.1 for facebook 104.1 for ebay how do i fix this!!!?
|
I have similar problems, but only in Firefox. I will constantly get stuck at static.ak.facebook.com or ebay pages, but they seem to work fine in IE7.
I tried stopping Adblock Plus, but that doesn't seem to help. I didn't have this problem a month ago. |
I have the same problem. I just wish someone knew what to do about it! |
yep, i have this problem too. i want to kno what it means when the the server has "static" in its name, coz ive realised it only hangs on these sites, and it only hangs wen it gets to a page that contains static in the link.
...thereofre, theres somehting incommon with these static-like servers, that isnt working for us. any help? |
Aaargh! Someone help! - I have exactly the same problem. Loading facebook hangs on the static.ak.facebook.com and amazon hangs on "waiting for z-ecx.images-amazon.com"
If I ping google I get Pinging www.l.google.com [64.233.167.147] with 32 bytes of data: Reply from 64.233.167.147: bytes=32 time=92ms TTL=243 Reply from 64.233.167.147: bytes=32 time=106ms TTL=243 Reply from 64.233.167.147: bytes=32 time=117ms TTL=243 Reply from 64.233.167.147: bytes=32 time=93ms TTL=243 But ping facebook and i get Pinging www.facebook.com [69.63.176.140] with 32 bytes of data: Request timed out. Request timed out. Request timed out. Request timed out. This all started happening after running a spyware removal thing which has screwed my computer up. What is happening?!!! |
As an aside, I do not have this problem when running in safe mode so don't think it's an ISP problem or anything like that. |
This is starting to really piss me off now.. Does anyone, anywhere have an answer... Like someone said above, it seems to be every website with the word "static" in it....
What the hell is wrong with my computer.. I've never come across a problem that has been so annoying.. I've even re-installed Windows and thats not helped either!! Please help.. Someone? Cheers Rich |
Hi guys...
Think I may have cracked it!!! I'm gonna give it a day or so and see if it still works tomorrow first.... Rich |

llandarr
don't be selfish lol. this is driving me mad too! any support site i look at just says 'clear your cache' - hey thanks mozilla! you'd think they'd actually offer some support for this problem - it seems to be getting more common on a daily basis... anyway, any clues as to The Fix?! cheers ricardo |
I've had this problem for weeks with ebay and facebook. I found a reference somewhere that suggested that ebay would hang at include.ebaystatic.com if the Java plug-in was out of date. I updated mine from the control panel, and ebay and facebook both work fine now. My Java didn't update automatically because I had disabled from startup with msconfig. Hope this helps - can't understand why there isn't more info about this on the web...........

updated java and..... still don't work.
this is SO frustrating; any minute now i'm heading for blank discs, backing up my files & reformatting... so annoying also that mozilla don't have a solution! thanks anyway ricardo |
ok i've seen firewalls mentioned a few times in various places across the web in relation to this & other problems, so i tried disabling my firewall (i have norton, which i hate but hey it was pre-installed...). anyway, once disabled i could access ebay; hey presto i thought. however i then tried facebook again, and it still didn't load!
in the end i just uninstalled norton completely from my pc & installed avg for anti-virus (i'll install a decent firewall v soon). ebay loaded fine; facebook also loaded - but only eventually (it took around 5 minutes i guess). however, ever since i allowed the sites to load fully (albeit VEEEEEERY slowly), i haven't had a problem. so i wonder if something kind of got 'reset' (or even 'fixed' lol) just by letting the pc struggle through loading those sites?? does that sound feasible? well whatever, i work so until i don't again, i'm happy! good luck to all with this problem; i hope you soon get the same relieved feeling i currently have. and if you're reading this from the mozilla offices - GET IT FIXED *slap* ricardo |
Well... I'm not saying this will work for everyone, but it worked for me..
I noticed in msconfig that the system was opening a file called ifedtsco, and no matter what I did, it always opened it.. No idea what this file is.... So, I loaded up my comp in safe mode and deleted it from where it was located... in Windows/System32 folder.. There was also some other files there with similar names... I deleted them all... Loaded up my computer in normal mode, and ever since its been fine connecting to EVERY website.. I was so happy I'd finally sorted the problem. I dont know what this ifedtsco file is.. ive google it and everything.., but obviously it was causing an issue somewhere.. I just hope something similar works for you guys.. I strongly suggest you open msconfig and see what you computer is loading on startup. Any advice on what this ifedtsco file would help as it might help me avoid coming across it in the future!! Cheers Richard |
I dont have that file in my sys32 and i tried stopping a similarly weird named file but it wasnt part of the problem as there hasnt been a change....
I went through a set of procedures, including the flushing of my DNS through CMD to get rid of all the things that might have cluttered my cache. These three browsers dont work: Opera, Firefox and IE all Windows XP SP2. Any other suggestions? |
Have you tried opening your PC in safe mode and see if still have a problem with the browsers???? |
I tried rebooting in safe-mode and working with browsers on websites such as Facebook and Ebay, which had previously been giving me problems during the "static" phase. They weren't acting up this time though. What does this mean!? |
There will be some program loading that is causing an issue.
Try starting up your computer as normal and get up the Windows Task Manager (by pressing ctrl, alt and del) and see what programs your system loads up from the start.... There will be a program loading up (that it shouldnt) that is causing a problem.. And it will probably be located in System32 folder...

Hey Guys
Yea I have those random Dll's and I have rundll32.exe in my MSCONFIG startup list also, i run task manager ALWAYS on startup and ive noticed nothing different between the times before the not some websites phase. Wait...i just checked my task manager and i have 2 identically named rundll32.exe processes running, oh dear.. also about safe mode...i can seem to connect to my internet in safe mode...as in my pc communicates with my external modem but i cant open the "app window" which allows me to click the "connect" button... Hmmm..those two identical processes look mighty fishy... one uses approx twice the mem of the other...but they both stay under 1KB however, they arent SYSTEM processes..they belong to my user ....welll in response to Geedbuyer...i just recently "despywared" 500 or so threats from my sys32 folder...from way before i had any trouble.. anyway - if someone wouldnt mind inforiming my newbness onto how to connect to the internet in safe mode id be grateful.... (btw i suggest everyone does/tries a DNS flush because it workied in fixing my friends identical problem...)
