[alik]

hi, it has been a few days since it happened. some how i got it working last night and again same issue is up now. the problem is i can browse sites from my browser Firefox but the site rapidshare.com is not working so i tried to ping the site in cmd and worked fine but i cannot browse that site in Firefox and Explorer so any body have any ideas

i can browse other sites but when i enter the rapidshare.com and hit enter the error report " Connection Interrupted ".

[detailer]

First try a reset of IE.Then from a command prompt.type these commands with no brackets- (netsh int ip reset resetlog.txt) >enter then (netsh winsock reset) >enter >reboot

Can you connect to Windows Live Messenger or Yahoo (or any other IM client)

[alik]

yes i can connet to windows live messenger

[detailer]

are you getting any message screen from Firefox? Or just a tab that seems to continue to load and time out?

[alik]

the error msg that i get from firefox is " Connection Interrupted
The connection to the server was reset while the page was loading.
The network link was interrupted while negotiating a connection. Please try again.

I'd suggest you to install HotspotShield, a free VPN.

Connect to HSS VPN and visit rapidshare. Is the problem gone?

[alik]

yeah that works thanks a lot Raymond

If you uninstall Hotspot Shield, there is a chance that you can now access RapidShare normally without problems. Happened once to Mark I think.
