Server not found

Unread post by jasjas » 2018-02-19, 11:54

Hello:
I am becoming very dismayed by endless "Server not found" errors with Pale Moon. If I switch immediately to any other browser, there is no problem connecting and if I immediately re-start PM, also, no problems. So, the server is find-able in reality and my internet connection and DNS settings appear fine. No other browser of the ~4 I use shows this problem unless there is a hard (and obvious) connection issue. Sometimes it seems that after some time the connection is made with no browser re-start even. PM Version: 27.7.2.

I can see no pattern to the sites involved, which are many and various, as this has been happening for a few weeks, but they include:

google.com
telegraph.co.uk

Thanks for reply.

VTel (Springfield, Vt.) had this problem and I had to change the DNS server! (It's either VTel's DNS server having issues or the router DNS is knackered) (At least it was suspected to be the Actiontec V1000H router, but I don't remember which router, as it may have also occurred on a Pace 5168N (?) router.)

If it were a router or DNS problem then i would expect no browsers to function correctly.

Just to add that, when PM is in this mood, it refuses to connect to any site (out of about five that I have just tried, ranging from Google to BBC to YouTube). The only extensions I have for this PM trial is Personas Plus and Tab Mix Plus. File-Restart never fails to fix the problem.
