Hello,
I am using Firefox on Windows Vista. When I click on a link from within my credit union's site, I get this message:
Connection has timed out. The server at global1.onlinebank.com is taking too long to respond.

I double-checked to see that Direct internet connection was checked, and it was.

Anybody that can help me please do asap, as I need to pay my bills!

Configuration: Windows Vista
Firefox 2.0.0.13

I have Windows XP. Recently the 3.0.1 update for Firefox downloaded and installed. After that Firefox couldn't see any website. But IE works fine.

I removed FireFox and reinstall just 3.0 and everything works fine again.

I am actually having a similar problem with ITunes. It cannot connect to the internet/find the store. I am starting to wondering what was in the last patch from Microsoft. My "automatic updates" are turned on.

I have similar issues wit Firefox & iTunes on Vista, with an additional problem with AVG updates. Again, IE 7 connects fine to any site, Firefox to none.
I have tried upgrading to Firefox 3 to no avail (admittedlt did not uninstall first). I have tried all as an admin, with the Windows firewall off.
Have you discovered a fix yet?
I'm beginning to agree woith you on the possiblility of this being tied to an MS update.

Thanks for this advice. I followed your advice and used to the tool to remove all norton/symamtec products and my internet started working immediately.

I don't what crappy software norton makes..how can they shut off everything on your desktop when you uninstall their product.!!!

Yeah I've tried that too. I uninstalled firefox and reinstalled the 3.0 version, and I still can't connect to that one site that I want to. I think it's something to do more with the network connection or other configure, but I really don't know what to do exactly for it. If anyone knows, please contact me.

I had the same problem with a website i was visiting and finally found what seems like a fix. heres how i did it.

1) go to tools and click options

2) click on the advanced button and then click the network tab

3) then under connections click settings

4) click auto-detect proxy settings for this network.

hope this works for you as it worked for me.

I had a problem where IE could connect to the Internet, but all other apps (Firefox, iTunes store, AVG virus update) could not.
Looks like after uninstalling Symantec trial AV (came with PC) using Add/Remove programs/Norton uninstaller traces were left behind casuing the problem. There is an uninstaller on the Symantec website that seems to do a better job. After running this and rebooting all is OK.

Hope this helps.

This is definitely a valid suggestion- everyone should try disabling/uninstalling security software

I had the same Issue in Vista, IE7 working but skype + firefox does not connect to any internet.

FIX for me: Download and install a Norton Removal tool and should fix your problem.

I have firefox. Works fine for every website I want to go to, except for the one I need to go to for my emails. IE7 doesn't go to this one site either. Tried all of the above plus a lot of other things. Anyone got any ideas?

The connection problem may be due to a corrupt Winsock2 file. To resolve it, do the following:

Open a command prompt and type: netsh winsock reset and then hit Enter.

The command is documented @ http://support.microsoft.com/kb/811259
