Cant connect?
hey guys.
I can't seem to connect to 2 VERY important websites I need to download things from. Other people can, I seem to be the only one having this problem.. Here's the links I can't connect to: http://download.microsoft.com/downlo...a/dotnetfx.exe http://g.live.com/1rewlive3/en/wlsetup-custom.exe Those are both download sites,and I get This error when I try to load them.. Firefox can't establish a connection to the server at g.live.com. Firefox can't establish a connection to the server at download.microsoft.com. It's really annoying me and I NEED those 2 things! Please someone help :( Thw installers are linked up to the sites as well, so mirror downloads dont work |

Re: Cant connect?
Both of those links are for a direct download of a particular program. If that's what you're trying to do and it wont work from a single left click, do a right click and select 'Save As' to download to a folder of your choice on your comp.
If you're just trying to access the website, shorten the url to http://download.microsoft.com or http://g4.live.com If it really is a server problem, it may just have been busy.

Re: Cant connect?
When I clicked on the links you provided in your first post, the downloads started immediately.
Are you saying they won't download for you with a straight left click or with the right click and 'Save As' option? Am I right in assuming that it is the download function you want? Or are you just trying to access the websites. Sorry Tonypyker, but it's late here and my heads a bit iffy right now! Back tomorrow though to catch up.
