Cannot load Facebook

shelly30uk · 10-14-2008, 02:01 PM

Hi, I know this probably seems a trivial problem...but it really bugs me! Every so often i find that i can not access the facebook page...hmepage/profile etc. Cant even get as far as the log in page.
I get a "failed to Connect" error. I can access every page i want to, i turn of my firewalls etc...i have changed any browser settings. I use Firefox...but I.E does the same as well.

My pc is linked to my partners for the internet.

I sometimes have an inkling he might be doing something to block the site...either on my pc or through his...but i cant be sure and dont even know if its possible!

Thanks

Hi,

You don't know what the exact error is would you. This would really help us figure out if it is a server error on their side or a browser error on your side. If you can come up with what it is that would be great. Otherwise there really isn't a lot that we can do for you.

Cheers!

I said what the error was! It cannot load page...says failed to connect.
Ummm...yeah my cookies and cache are cleared every few days and my pc has had a a defrag and i have checked all the internet connections and tried it with my firewalls turned off and tried it with internet explorer...same result.
I can get on at mo...so can not check the exact error ...but every so often it does this and its only this site.

Hi,

Let me be a little bit more clear with my question. Do u get a number with your error message. Take a look at this page Http Error Code reference. This isn't a list of all of them but a list of the most common. See if any of them if.

I am concerned about this statement. I wonder how many firewalls you are running on your computer? This could be part of the problem also.

Cheers!
