    I am running XP SP2, Trend PC-cillin, IE7, with no ad-ons, and nothing
    else. I love Firefox, but wife loves IE, so both have been installed.
    firefox 1 used to run ok on IE6 but would sometimes say, " server not found,
    en-us.start.mozilla.com ", didn't happen often.
    several weeks ago, I got the same error message, and could not get it to go away.
    I went to the mozilla, and downloaded FF 2.0, still will not boot,
    same error. I do not do games, movies, or anything fancy. My 200g hard
    drive is 92% free. there are no add-ons at all.
    My PC is a Compaq Presario, AMD 3500+ processor, 984MHz, 960MB Ram.
    200 GB Hdrive. I was just hoping that someone has had this problem, and
    could help or offer advice. Thank you all for this great site!.

    Within FireFox:

    Click Tools, Options, then select the advanced tab, then select (within advanced) the network tab. Click setting under "connection".

    Make sure the settings here are correct. My settings are "Direct connection to the internet". Which is default btw.
