    How ya folks, I know sweet f.a about computers so hopefully someone will be able to help..When I try to connect to the internet I get the message "server not found"..even though the internet is connected. Its Mozilla Firefox. Never had this problem before It came out of the blue. Its also Windows Xp if this is any use. Bit lost without it at the minute. Any help greatly appreciated!! :mad:

    Wired or wireless? Fixed line or dongle? Need more info ;) . Server not found is indicating the web browser is not detecting an internet connection or cannot connect to a particular site, could be as simple as the browser is in "offline mode" or a config/connection issue. In firefox click the orange Firefox button (top left)>Web Developer and make sure "Work Offline" is unchecked

    Sorry its a wireless fixed line. Ive checked and made sure off line is unchecked. As I said it just happened out of the blue which is strange??... It say the computer is connected to the internet so It must be picking up the signal but its not loading the pages for whatever reason..

    I would try re-connecting to the wifi network, it could be an issue with the profile. Follow the steps here for instructions :)
