I am having problems try to get on the internet and my email.

Firstly if i try to get on most sites i keep getting 'The Page Cannot be Displayed' screen with the tab titled 'Cannot Find Server' and it takes me 4 or 5 attempts of the refresh button before it then shows the page.

Secondly on Outlook it gives Error messages when doing send/receive but try it again and it works.

Checked the ISP website and it says there are no service issues.

Any ideas at it seems very strange.

Many thanks for your help and fingers crossed i can read any responses!

It's either your line is dropping out, your firewall is blocking access for some reason or something else.
You need to let us know a bit about your set up such as service provider, method of connecting (router or modem, dialup or broadband), and what firewall and virus sortware you are running.

Try using nslookup and ping from the command line to see whether you can locate and reach the hosts that are giving you trouble.
