Page Load Error – What’s causing it and what is the solution?
Question by Maelin: Page Load Error – What’s causing it and what is the solution?
Hello,
I know several questions have been posted here with regards to the topic above; however, I have not found anything that works with mine. Recentely, when I am surfing through the internet, I get a lot of page load errors.
For example “Franchise Tax Board” – California
I get the following error message:
Address Not Found – Firefox can’t find the server at www.ftb.ca.gov.
The browser could not find the host server for the provided address.
* Did you make a mistake when typing the domain? (e.g. “ww.mozilla.org” instead of “www.mozilla.org”)
* Are you certain this domain address exists? Its registration may have expired.
* Are you unable to browse other sites? Check your network connection and DNS server settings.
* Is your computer or network protected by a firewall or proxy? Incorrect settings can interfere with Web browsing.
I don’t think there is a problem with the address since I can access this site with another computer. In addition, I’ve been getting this message with so many websites.
I have already turn off my firewall.
What could be causing this, and how do I solve this? Thank you in advance.
To Colant,
I don’t know how to reply to your answer, so I’m doing it here. Yours actually works, so I think it’s a DNS problem. How do I solve this DNS problem?

Try disabling all of your add-ons. Then see if the problem stops. If it does, enable each one individually again until you find the culprit. For some reason everyone seems to be having problems since Mozilla updated.

I can reach it, so the most likely answer is your ISP’s domain name servers are bad.
To be sure that’s the problem, go to a proxy server such as http://www.hidemyass.com and try reaching the site. If you can, it’s your ISP’s fault, contact them.

Or just bypass DNS completely and connect to http://168.240.100.41/ If that works, and http://www.ftb.ca.gov doesn’t, you know it’s a DNS problem, since they’re the same server.
