  Hi lizwakl123,

  Please quote the complete error message you receive to help you best.

  Method 1: Disable the security/firewall program software you run on the computer temporarily and then check if the problem persists.

   

  How can I turn on or turn off the firewall in Windows XP Service Pack 2 or later versions?

  If you use a third-party security software, you can check the documentation provided on the software to turn it off.

• Problem watching a netflix on media center

  On Christmas day, we watched several movies with media center through netflix.

  We have tried to make the xame yesterday, but kept getting an error message blue box saying something like "unable to retrieve data, check the internet connection."  Nonoe of movies selcted, queues, watched movies, or any other category post trying to connect through the media library.

  I had no problem to the internet, log on to netflix, see my queue of the film selected etc.

  I tried to do a system restore to a date prior to my connection initial netflix and reinstall the software.  Same thing.  I think that something is shifted on the side of the Media Center.

  I'm running vista 64-bit home version.  Any suggestions?

• OTP-S3100 will not connect to Netflix

  Have installed a BDP-S3100 and cannot connect to Netflix. He spent a lot of time on the chat support without success (both with Sony and Netflix). Here are the details:

  (1) Internet connection is fine (AT & T DSL). Have you tried both on the WiFi and direct Ethernet connection and the symptoms are identical.

  (2) access to the many other internet services (Amazon Prime, Pandora, YouTube) without problem.

  (3) selection of Netflix in the menu or with the Netflix button gives the same results.

  (4) error message is "unable to connect to Netflix. Please try again or visit: www.netflix.com/tvhelp, " and provides the options"Try Again,"(which does nothing) and 'Leave'."

  (5) have restarted (with long disconnect times) the Blu Ray player and my router once more than I can count.

  (6) have tried resetting to factory settings (all settings) and initialization of personal information several times.

  (7) when I try the 'up, up, down, low, left, right, left, right, upward, upward, upward, upward"sequences, get the following message:" the software Version: M14.» R.0142/2012.1.2; Netflix version: NMRDLIB 2012.1.2 - built to 00:48:26 June 30, 2013; ESN: SONY-13BDAKL100306NMJD = 3VC0OGESC; Device mode: Sony_AX; Last error: Network / 3 / host not found / https://uiboot.netflix.com/apps/htmltvui/upgrade_policy?v=2.0&e=... " (the url is long and goes on the right side of the screen).

  (8) I tried to disable the time of camps of Netflix device. I also disabled all the devices Netflix from my netflix account.

  (9) as stated above, I'm updating on the firmware. Suspected a misinstallation of the portion of the firmware netflix app, so I downloaded the CD to try to reinstall the latest firmware. The BDP-S3100 doesn't let me do... it checks that the version on the CD is the same thing and then stops the installation process.

  (10) tech support asked me to try www.speedtest.com from the browser in the OTP-S3100. It wouldn't connect (I know that the Internet itself is correct, because I could go to google). When I test the speed of the internet from a laptop that is connected either wireless or wired, I pretty much get the same internet speed: approx. 5.6 Mbps download. It's enough to watch instantly on Netflix. In addition, the errors I get are not indicating a speed too slow, they can not connect and the host was not found.

  Any suggestions would be welcome!

  I'm sorry to hear what is happening with the reader. Repeat the installation of the network of the player, but you will have to manually, enter the IP address and change the primary DNS 8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4 to secondary DNS. To manually enter information, refer to this article. Once finished with the installation of the network, access to Netflix.

  If the problem persists, try to check the speed of your internet connection by going on www.2wire.com. Www.speedtest.net result represents the speed of internet searches and navigation while the result of www.2wire.com represents speed when streaming videos with larger files. The player must meet minimum internet speed of 2.5 Mbps for standard definition content and 10 Mbps for high definition content.

• OTP-s3100 cannot connect to Netflix.

  Connects to YouTube, Crackle and other with no problems.

  Remote options with the NETFLIX highlighted shows no connectivity issues.

  Try Netflix and I get UNABLE TO CONNECT, try again later.

  ToX

  So for yucks, I brought my Blue ray for a House of friends who had 11 + on the scale of internet speed against my 2.57.

  Everything was working on his wireless wi - fi.

  So it seems Netflix needs more than 2.5 Mbps.

  ToX

  Follow this link for troubleshooting if you get the error: cannot connect to Netflix. Please try again later.  Rerun the network setup and to manually enter the IP address of the player.  Change 8.8.4.4 8.8.8.8 primary DNS and Secondary DNS.

  Whenever I open the pictures, I get an alert that reads: 'there was a problem connecting to the server "my-server", which is another Mac on my network.

• There was a problem connecting to the server 'SERVER NAME' error guard appearing

  There was a problem connecting to the server 'SERVER NAME' error guard appearing even though the server is not on my current network.  I recently moved my iMac to a different location and a different network, and now he constantly tries to connect to the old server.  This message appears every 30 seconds and several of those who appear (see pictures) it's extremely frustrating because it makes the machine almost useless because I am constantly closing them.  No matter how many times I try to stop the activity monitor it it keeps reappearing, and I even tried a few terminal commands that I found online, then restarted the computer, but still had no success.  I would appreciate all the advice really.

  I hope that gives you an idea of what I got!

• Check error: there was a problem connecting to the server Apple ID

  When I try to connect to my iTunes on my Windows laptop account it is said there is a problem connecting to the Apple ID server. This problem did not begin until 2 days. I have the latest version of iTunes and Windows.

  What is the number of the version of iTunes?

  For general advice, see troubleshooting problems with iTunes for Windows updates.

  Start by missing error MSI.

  The steps described in the second case are a guide to remove everything related to iTunes and then rebuild what is often a good starting point, unless the symptoms indicate a more specific approach.

  Review the other boxes and other support documents list to the bottom of the page, in case one of them applies.

  More information area has direct links with the current and recent buildings if you have problems to download, must revert to an older version or want to try the version of iTunes for Windows (64-bit-for old video cards) as a workaround for problems with installation or operation, or compatibility with QuickTime software or a third party.

  Backups of your library and device should be affected by these measures but there are links to backup and recovery advice there.

• Satellite C850 - 19(d) - problems connecting to internet

  Ive had problems connecting to the internet for the past weeks.
  I used to be able to just open my browser after my phone finished putting in, but now I have to wait because after setting up my connection is limited so I have to wait for it to connect completely.

  When it finishes by the fact that he goes to random then disconnect. It used to take long periods of time, like an hour or something while now it disconnects after 10 to 20 minutes, that drives me crazy.
  The only thing that will fix it restart my laptop.

  I use a single network where I have a fixed IP address, the family use it, but we all different IP addresses so it should not be because of this.

  The other network is open, but it has the same problems.

  Curiously, when I use more than one window, a window or tab could still operate, usually that's my facebook chat. Often this will continue to work, but nothing else. No other tab, or even facebook will update. He'll just ask that there is no internet connection.

  The network will be disconnected and will not reconnect until I restart the laptop. I tried to just disable the wifi for a few minutes, but he does not either. You have to restart.

  As I said, there is a fixed IP address, but because there are 4 other laptops in my house, we all use a different IP address, including smartphones, but nobody else has this problem. What makes me think this is my laptop which has a problem, but I don't know what.

  I need that an operating system can cause problems like this but I don't have my operating system changes, and it's always Windows 8. Can't do updates because I don't have internet for long enough.

  Is there something wrong with my network card, or is there something else?

  > Y at - it something wrong with my network card, or is there something else?

  I assume you mean the wireless connection. Is this right?

  First I would recommend you to check if the same internet connection using the LAN cable.

  Second, you should check if you have the same problem using the laptop with the battery or even computer using the socket.
  I m asking that because in many cases power saving options can affect the connection.

  Last but not least, you should also check if it would be possible to update the WLan driver (in case you use the Wlan connection).
  In many cases the Wlan driver update would solve some compatibility and feature wireless problems.

• problems connecting to gmail and other sites (unles in inprivate mode?)

  Hello

  I have problems connecting to gmail (unless in private mode?)

  I had a similar problem with www.kvraudio.com and I removed the cookie manually.

  I removed the cookie from gmail (I think), but it did not help. There are a few cookies from google, but I'm not messing things.

  So far, I like firefox but I need to be able to "connect to sites" without their "brought back me to the login page" each time

  Can you help me?

  If clearing cookies doesn't help, then it is possible that the cookies.sqlite file that stores the cookies is corrupted.

  Rename (or delete) cookies.sqlite (cookies.sqlite.old) and delete cookies.sqlite - journal and cookies.txt, if they exist, in the profile folder in case the cookies.sqlite file has been corrupted.
