Question
Why do I always have to refresh to view a page?

Hay all
Is this a common problem, when I go to a web page I get "The Page Cannot Be Displayed" 70% of the time . I always have to refresh to view the web page sometimes I have to hit refresh a bunch of times. Now I can not update my viruis protection. This is a common problem with all the computers on this network is there going on with the server which is win2000?

Are you behind a proxy server or ISA server?

Sounds like its caching pages, that have dynamic data.

Check with the proxy server, and see that it doesn't cache dynamic content. If anything at least change the refresh rate to much lower.

Another thing to check out:
I've seen where MTU settings that are too high for a given line quality can cause the same type of problem. For example, sometimes our aDSL line (PPPoE) runs much better at an MTU of 1420 rather than the "optimal maximum" of 1492.
