Internet problems

My Internet connection is very slow.

Many factors contribute to the speed with which you can surf
the Internet. They include: modem speed, time of day (when
everyone else is surfing, your access can be slow) and
popularity of the site. If accessing a particular site is very
slow, try later.

My browser can’t find the URL address I typed in.

Make sure you separated the domain names of the address
with the forward slash (/). Check the spelling of each name
and the syntax of the address carefully. A single incorrect
letter or missed character, comma instead of period (“dot”) or
other mistake makes it impossible for your browser to locate
the site.

My browser can’t find a site I bookmarked.

The World Wide Web is constantly changing. A site you
bookmarked yesterday may not be available today or its
server may be down for temporary repair. Try again later.
