[dba-Tech] Firefox not finding web site first try

Sounds like a spyware problem to me... always worth checking first. Run more
than one spyware scanner, then a virus scan, then try a disk cleanup and
defrag. Cures all sorts of problems. If it doesn't cure it, start looking
deeper.

I am seeing it now with all of my applications.  Outlook fails the first
time I open it, then works fine.  I have a vonage app that dials numbers for
me, which I have to log in to.  It fails the first time through, then works
fine.

I've been having a similar problem with IE. Over the weekend, I had problems
reaching a number of sites on the first try. I would just get the msn search
page with the site I wanted to reach is the first choice. I assumed is was a
DNS problem with my DSL service but maybe it was more widespread than that.
Anyone else in the US Northeast having problems?

In the last perhaps 2 weeks or so firefox suddenly started failing to find
many sites the first time I ask.  I have to assume it is a timing issue with
sites that don't respond immediately.  I say this because some sites just
always come back - msnbc for example.  Other sites come back with a "not
found" message.  If I try a second time it IMMEDIATELY returns the info, and
I mean with no delay AT ALL.  This is totally bizarre.  It is rarely if ever
a real "the site is no longer there", yet it happens to me dozens of times a
day.  VERY irritating to say the least.

Has anyone seen this?
