Hello:
This is my first post. I also posted this on yahoo answers; I really need a quick resolution to this problem, as it effects my work-at-home job and thus my wallet.
I’ve been having this crap problem that just seemed to popup out of no-where for two days now. I use both mozilla firefox (have to use it for a part time internet assessor work at home type job) and internet explorer which I generally use otherwise. For some reason yesterday, after having some captcha window issues (not showing content properly), I was unable to access internet links through firefox and my work at home app interface. At first I thought the captcha tool was to blame, but I recently noticed the same problem when using my internet explorer.
After accessing internet explorer and websurfing for a few minutes, all of a sudden all the links will kick back a “404 internal server error nginx” error (and I do mean all links showing on the search results page). When I exit internet explorer and immediately re-enter it will work fine again for a few minutes before the problem inexplicably reoccurs (it appears that all links are blocked with that 404 error), and then I have to exit IE, then re-enter, and go through this same stupid cycle over and over.
Exactly the same thing happens in mozilla firefox except the error code reads “500 internal server error nginx.” As I alluded to above, the error seems to be “timed” and is not associated with any particular website or search engine. I could be on both FF and IE at the same time and one works (for awhile) and then crashes while the other still works (for awhile) before it crashes at totally unsynchronized times.
I’m totally stumped. I’ve been working through this for 6+ hours and I have no solution. I tried resetting my router and wireless network, but that’s not the problem as another computer system on the home network works fine. I can’t perform my work-at-home job because I need more than a few minutes to complete each task, and having to exit FF, then login, then do captcha, then reaquire tasks, then re-rate simply eats up way too much time when we’re talking work cycles measured in minutes-per-task.
Research shows that the 500 error is a website error, not a client side error, but it just seems strange to me that both IE and FF are being affected adversely independent of each other and that the error is time-dependant and not site-dependant.
About two weeks ago I had a win 7 antispyware 2012 virus removed (I used macafee AV tech support to completely cleanse my system of all residual infected files), and spent several PITA days troubleshooting this problem beforehand, so this should not be a factor, and besides, my computer worked fine for two weeks since it was so cleansed, so this cannot be a factor.
I just have no idea at this point and I’m hoping some tech support expert can give me a winning suggestion here.
Thanks in advance for any help,

The following was posted by one guy on yahoo answers (just to make sure the same answer doesn't get duplicated): "it has something to do with your nginx proxy server. disable the nginx proxy server in your internet options and you will probably be able to brows just fine."
My answer: Thanks for the answer: I went to tools internet options connections tab LAN settings, and the "use a proxy server for your Lan" radio box was unchecked. Was that the disconnect nginx proxy server setting you were referring to? {I actually have no idea what the nginx proxy server is, as I have never knowingly had anything to do with this, nor did I install any kind of server software}
Other things I've tried and which have failed, now I've been working about 9 hours straight on this #$###%%^^@ problem :
- tried the PING test after the 404 error appeared, and PING appears to working fine, thus no problem with router, DSL, and internet connection.
- I set windows live mail options > mail > general, check messages to every 4 minutes (what I think is less time than the interval between disconnections). This is something I got from another forum answer .. no dice, still fails.
- I tried turning off my firewall in case there was some kind of conflict there, but I still get the 404 not found nginx error, no dice there either.
It would be fantastic if I could solve this problem really quick, I've already lost at least 4 hours of work over the past couple of days.
