Dell vostro laptop with Windows Prof SP2
Every now and then IE (both 8 and 9) gives the following error when connecting to a site for the first time. Clicking on "Refresh" usually brings the page up OK....
Internet Explorer cannot display the webpage
What you can try:
Diagnose Connection Problems
More information
This problem can be caused by a variety of issues, including:
•Internet connectivity has been lost.
•The website is temporarily unavailable.
•The Domain Name Server (DNS) is not reachable.
•The Domain Name Server (DNS) does not have a listing for the website's domain.
•There might be a typing error in the address.
•If this is an HTTPS (secure) address, click Tools, click Internet Options, click Advanced, and check to be sure the SSL and TLS protocols are enabled under the security section.
This happens when running on the internal wifi card and the external "N" dongle.
The wired PC is fine.
Its just annoying.
Any ideas would be welcome.
