Web Site Connection Problems
There are several possible causes of problems
with a web connection. Information about general network issues
can be found in the section on Internet
connection problems. As always, the ping program
is particularly useful for diagnosing connection problems.
If you are having problems with connection to web sites,
a run through the following trouble-shooting check-list might be useful:
- Lock-up. If your web browser is locked up, and other programs
on the computer are still working, then quit and restart your browser
application. If you find the browser locks up only on a specific site,
then avoid that site or use a different browser.
- Net connection. If your browser is fine, but none of your usual
web sites can be located, then likely your Internet connection is down.
Check your network application for status. It never hurts to quit and
restart the connection, and, if that doesn't work, reboot your
computer and try again.
- Reload images. If you can access web sites, but graphics don't
show up, then likely somebody economized on bandwidth along the way,
and you can simply reload the page. If the graphics still don't show
up but the rest of the page is fine, then the web server is probably
overloaded or the graphics have been moved and are no longer accessible.
- Reload. If there is anything else wrong with a page's
formatting, like shifting of parts of it off the page, you can always
try reloading
it. On some browsers, pressing the "shift" button along with the
reload button will help cause a reload of the page in all elements from
scratch.
