Connection timed out

Hi, I'm using Firefox browser, and sometimes when trying to load a web page, it says "Connection timed out, The server is taking too long to respond". I'm sure sometimes, the server is just about to start, but then Firefox gives up because its tired of waiting, it doesn't even know the server is about to send the data! How do you make it wait longer?

BTW I'm aware that this is an Internet Explorer forum, but I couldent find any "Firefox or other browser" section here.

Re: Connection timed out

Just let it time out. Wait as long as you like, then refresh the page to see if the server is up.

To refresh your browser:
*Press the "F5" button on your keyboard
or
*Go to the "view" dropdown menu at the top of the window, then select "refresh"
