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. Jon -----Original Message----- From: John W.

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?

Subject: [dba-Tech] Firefox not finding web site first try 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? John W.
