I've been having this problem for a few weeks now, and have googled but still have found nothing but "I have this too and it sucks".
You guys have been very helpful in the past, so I was hoping something will be suggested that will work!
Recently, I can go surf the web like normal, but certain websites come up with a "connection interrupted" error from firefox3 on my windows xp computer.
It's only a few certain pages, gamestop.com and cnn.com are two that I can remember. I know I originally clicked on links to get to both sites, but even when I type the urls they don't work. But it's gotten to the point where I'll be searching for something (this problem, for example), click on a link, and it won't work.
Here's the weird part. I'll open I.E. and get page cannot be displayed errors. So, I went over to my parents computer (in which I am connected through a router) and lo and behold, all the websites work.
We have the same version of firefox, the only thing I can think of being different is that I have SP3 and have been installing updates and they have updates turned off. Going off of that, I set my restore point to about 3 weeks ago, and am STILL having this problem.
I know it can't be my connection, since it obviously works on my parents. But I'm going back to school tomorrow, and would love if my computer would work for that. Any tips/suggestions/words from a higher being that will allow my firefox to live again?
Thanks

Connection Interrupted
The connection to the server was reset while the page was loading.
The network link was interrupted while negotiating a connection. Please try again.
