Hello,

Recently, I stayed in a Travelodge, and tried to connect to their wifi called Spectrum. However, I could not, firefox said that 'the connection to the server was reset whilst the page was loading'. I stopped trying, but when I got home, I couldn't go on any websites, and it still said the same message. However, after some playing around, I could access facebook, but still none of the other sites. I can do whatever on facebook, but no other site will work. Help?
Thanks in advance :)
Luke

This sounds like a DNS problem. Your laptop can't do a DNS look-up (ie convert the site name to a IP address). I suggest you read the info at this web site:

Good Luck
