Netflix in WMC gives internet connection error, started yesterday, works in the browser

Original title: WMC-Netflix's internet connection error

I tried to use Netflix in Vista Windows Media Center (WMC) last night and got an error. The error says I need to check your internet connection.  I checked the connection and it worked.  Also in IE8 I logged into my Netflix account and released a video of my Instant queue.  This proves that my internet connection and a Netflix account working. I tried to re-login to Netflix of WMC, but once again the message on checking the internet connection appears.  I restarted the PC, but that did not fix the problem. Netflix I uninstalled and reinstalled, no not yet fixed.  Can anyone help?  I've been a happy user of WMC-Netflix for several months (so far).  Notice, 2 security patches Windows automatically installed yesterday before I tried to use Netflix.

I just noticed that NetFlix had started working again for me with Windows Media Center. Mysteriously, as if by magic... it seems to have fixed itself after just a few weeks!

  • # 815 Internet connections errors

    Sometimes my internet connection does not suddenly, and when I try to log in again I got error message # 815 saying that the connection could not be established because the remote server didn't answer. and this could be wrong "domain name of service." and what I do is try and try to connect again. all devices reset, I have a linksys router, a modem that I got from my ISP. and all of a sudden I can connect again to the internet. My point is NOW happening I do this over and over again and I still haven't an idea

    Hello

    ·        What type of Internet connection do you use?

    The 815 error code means that the network connection to broadband could not be established on your computer because the remote server is not responding.

    See the article mentioned below.

    List of Error Codes may appear when you try to establish a dial-up connection or a VPN connection in Windows Vista

    Check with your provider for Internet services over DSL connections to make sure that you have configured it correctly.  Some require an additional network configuration until they are able to communicate.

     

    Step 1:

    Register a new user account that you are able to establish the connection. Follow the steps mentioned in the article below.

  • Firefox does not start, no error message, only works in the background

    I click on Firefox it does not start
    no error message it does not start
    It works in the background in 32-bit
    I have re installed it but nothing changes

    It is possible that your security (firewall, antivirus) software blocks or limit Firefox or the process of plugin-container without you inform, possibly after the detection of changes (update) for the Firefox program.

    Delete all rules for Firefox and the plugin-container in the permissions list in the firewall and leave your firewall again ask permission to get full unlimited access to the internet for Firefox and the plugin-container and the update process.

    Your Windows XP question is more complex than what is generally answered in the Microsoft Answers forums. It is better suited for the platform of networking on TechNet. Please post your question in the TechNet Windows XP Networking forum.

  • No internet connection but wireless & modem work. Server DNS - RESOLVED error

    Just in case someone else has this problem...

    So this morning the home computer wouldn't connect to the internet.  He kept coming with an open internet page of cant and gave a DNS error as a solution.  However, the laptop can connect wireless and internet on which was fine - if it was just the computer at home.  So I called Telstra Bigpond and spent 2 hours trying to solve the problem.  We got things setting Lan, added IP addresses, did a lot of restarts, has done a modem reset, delete history of navigation, plugged the cables this and that.

    The only thing after 2 hours was to do a Virus scan and then they'd call back as I had so-called spyware.  Fact that - nothing reported on McAfee.

    So they called up and said you can take your computer to a technician or talk to the technicians telstra for a fee.  We refused dish but I connected to them to discuss.  The man of Telstra + support Premium said DNS problem is fixable for a fee of $99 and it would be remotely connect to my computer etc.  I refused because I said I know that this will not be an easy fix, and theres no way I can pay $99.  He said its not so easy, so it was to me.  I hung up.

    PROBLEM SOLVED!  So going through paperwork I noticed another tech support number of telstra.  I thought that I'll call and see if it is the same incompetent people.  HOWEVER... on this line is a recorded message and he said if you are a McAfee product user and you have internet connection problems call the Mcafee line on 1800 998 887 and press 1.   I did it and Mcafee said: you need power your computer in safe mode (gives the instructions) and then download the MVP Virtual technician.  As soon as I did this and followed the simple procedure (less than 10 minutes everything including 2 starts) all is well again and computer is normal!

    I'm outraged, so now I'm waiting for Telstra still to let them know how inadequate their service and communication has been!  I can't believe that it is a known issue (quite urgent for them to do a pre recorded message) but the technical team don't even know on this subject.

    I hope that if anyone else has this problem they see this post and save a LOT OF TIME and money!
