There was a discussion started here about whether the three "website" articles that this one links to, should be combined into one article (possibly this one). That would avoid confusion about which article contains what information, and the three articles do overlap. Alice Wyman 01:50, 20 July 2006 (UTC)

...and, there was also a discussion about the overlap between the "any website" and "some websites" articles on the Talk:Error_loading_some_websites page. Alice Wyman 02:02, 20 July 2006 (UTC)

My only concern is that the article might be too long to be usable, but we could see how it works by merging them in a sandbox for testing. --name already taken 07:48, 27 July 2006 (UTC)
Maybe we could shorten the Error loading any website article first, possibly by replacing all the information in the "Firewalls" section about specific Firewall programs (after "Here is some firewall-specific information:") with a link to a new "Firewalls" article? Here is what the proposed "Firewalls" article link would contain: User:Alice_Wyman/Proposed_article ... That would make the Error loading any website article much shorter. Alice Wyman 13:47, 27 July 2006 (UTC)
Good idea. A separate firewall article is an improvement, and it would make it straightforward to combine the other 3 (4). The proposed firewall article looks fine. AnotherGuest.
OK, I added that suggestion to Talk:Error loading any website. Lets wait to see if there are any objections. If not, I'll create the new Firewalls article and replace that content with a link in the Error loading any website article. After that's done, the three articles can be combined into one :-) Alice Wyman 14:21, 27 July 2006 (UTC)
Alice asked me to look at this proposal page. Dickvl
I like the idea about a separate firewall article. There was an update to Fx 1.5.0.5 and with every update most problems are a firewall problem or localstore / lost bookmarks. Firewall problems start after an update / reinstall of Fx or maybe an update of the firewall program. Once that setup is ok then it should work fine.
About DNS problems: if you have a ISP with bandwidth problems of the DNServers then you can never predict what happens if you visit a site. I think it is better not to confuse the users with whether a problem is random or that it only happens on a few websites (some DNServers can also have bad or missing entries for specific sites). Sometimes a website blocks certains IP's
Connection Settings: I miss a description on where to find the IE settings. Most users won't know where to look for it. (e.g. Control Panel -> Internet Options -> Connections: LAN)
