"Packet Loss" w/ DSL causing "The Page Can Not De Displayed"

**pdxireland** · 03-01-2005, 08:42 AM

OK,

It has been suggested that Packet Loss might be behind my frequent problem w/ "The Page Can Not Be Displayed" while using IE. I have Qwest DSL & a Cisco 678 modem. This seems to be happenning most often while moving around inside a web site....not as often when going from one site to another. Anybody out there have any good ideas as to how to fix this?
thanks,

fmg

If you're experiencing packet loss, the only way to fix it is to get the ISP to correct whatever is wrong. You can't fix that from your end.

Hello,

Thanks for the advice.
My ISP (nwlink.com) was very helpfull as usual but it did not change my situation.
I updated my 10/100 drivers also.....
Any other crazy ideas out there?

probable spyware caused problem. where do you get the packets lost message? when pinging a site? is it a pop up error message? does it happen on particular websites?

**pdxireland** · 03-02-2005, 12:02 PM

Very frequently when I'm moving around online I will get the classic page reading "The page cannot be displayed" bla bla bla.....
Sometimes when searching for a site I know exists.
Sometimes after I have inputed some info on an online form & submit it.
Moving from one page to the next in both large & small web sites.
Not a big deal most of the time but it bugs me!
This happens the first time almost every time I post a message on this site for example?
I'm currently using the following (w/ XP&SP2 using IE) & probably more....
AdSubtract
BHODemon
LavaSoft Ad-Aware
Spybot Search & Destroy
SpywareBlaster
SpyGuard
Winpatrol
McAfee
etc. etc.

I look forward to your advice !

Try CounterSpy from www.sunbeltscan.com

also enable 3rd party browser extensions open IE click tools>internet options>advanced Tab>enable 3rd party browser extensions (if theres a check mark remove it if theres none add it)>ok>restart

or visit this site

when you are at the site do this;

1. click on 'ctr' and 'f' at the same time - (it will highlight the word) batch file
2. click on the BATCH FILE link
3. click on OPEN
4. restart the system
5. try connecting to the internet.

To sort out the question if this is a browser problem i´d recommend to use FireFox or Opera for a while and see if they behave the same way

So what your saying that is... IE works at first but then just quits and displays a blank message?

Is your modem on? Connected? Installed? All lights are up and running and... try and repair your connection. You can see on your start menu bottom right hand corner where your clock and program running is you should see 2 or 3 computers hooked up by link. There are signs next to it. It can be a red X or a yellow triangle with an ! or nothing at all. Right click it if there is a red X or yellow triange with an ! and select repair. Wait a few seconds then after a window pops up press okay. The window should close then open up your Internet Browser again. If it doesn't work then contact your ISP.
