Just installed Firefox and when I type in a URl or click a hyperlink it gives a popup that says

"The document contains no data"

After okaying and try a few times it eventually works.
Any ideas what the problem is?

Does it do this for all URL's? Have you rebooted yet after installation?
Had something similar with my firewall filtering out some https sites - are you behind a firewall?

Yes I have a firewall (Norton) and it does appear to be all URL's but not all the time, BBC is hit and miss.

I've not rebooted yet so will try that now

I've found it does it once or twice, usually when I've got something else hogging all the bandwidth on the network or when the webpage has some dodgy coding. You don't run a P2P app do you?

We occasionally get this error when both online at the same time. We have two PCs sharing one internet connection. I think as Lurch said, it's not very tolerant of transmission conflicts.

That's strange.

We've 3 PCs routed through a home made HW router which shares the net connection across the LAN and have never had this experience?

Could it be OS specific (all these machines are running windows '98 ).

Could be. We're both on XP SP2.

I have heard of this before.

Maybe this will help coopster ;)

All mine are W2K. As it doesn't happen too often here I'm not overly concerned. I've bookmarked the IPv6 link from Vidster as that sounds like a likely candidate, I might do that if it becomes more frequent.
