Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.0; en-US; rv:1.7.8) Gecko/20050511 MultiZilla/1.8.0.1d

sometimes, i get the above mentioned error (website's which occur this error msg
vary, but are the same url on which it happens from time to time. one example
see above) msg with Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.0; en-US; rv:1.7.8)
Gecko/20050511 MultiZilla/1.8.0.1d. however, very strange is that after that msg
i cannot connect to any url in either mozilla, ie  or icq. actually right after
that msg, even though icq may be up and running, it automatically disconnects
and i'm not be able to reconnect anymore. same thing with ie btw. no url works
anymore. nothing seems to help (i.e. restarting the app, etc.), except reboot
the sys. now i've been able to track this prob down, so it seems. i'm running
win2k sp4 right now and it seem that visiting these sites makes the service for
Symantec Network Proxy (i'm using NIS 2004) crash each time. after that its not
possible to visit anymore sites, or use icq, until you're restarting this
specific service.

i'm not sure if it's mozilla/semantec/bad html coding (although it doesnt seem
to happen when i'm using ie on the same site), but i think you should know.

Reproducible: Sometimes

Steps to Reproduce:
1. have symantec norton internet security 2004, win2k sp4 & mozilla installed
2. visit [html=http://mtz.softpedia.com/]site[/html]
3. look at your services (maybe event manager too) & see if you can connect to
any site or can use icq 




just restart the service until this one is fixed :)

Did you check the help/support/knowledge base from Symantec for the errors in
this service?
Version: unspecified → 1.7 Branch
Have you tried doing nslookup <domain> to see if your DNS is even working? It
could be that your connection is dorked and thus not a "bug" at all just a bad
service from your ISP.(In reply to comment #0)

Have you tried doing nslookup <domain> to see if your DNS is even working? It
could be that your connection is dorked and thus not a "bug" at all just a bad

nslookup <..> works well. i guess it's sth. to do with that symantec network
proxy (v2004). if you start this service by hand, you could reconnect to the
internet. just set it on auto-restart and everything should be good.  
I'm using Windows XP.  This started to happen after I loaded the most recent 
update.
I just fixed this by going into the Norton Firewall program.
Personal Firewall -> Configure -> Programs Tab -> Scroll to Mozilla Firefox 
and change the setting to Permit All
This seems to happen on HOSTS blocked URLs. Why is it displayed at all? Is there a way to disable the display of this annoyance?

I have a similar problem with Mozilla 1.7.13 etc on Win98SE. After connecting with Linux and logging the connection, I found that my ISP shut down a service after not very much inactivity, and the browser stopped working. After a little more activity, my ISP hung up. I think some of the failure to perform that this bug is about has to do with too-soon timeouts by services on ISP servers.

This problem is best evaluated by logging the connection including the msgs between the user's PC and the ISP's server. I thought for some time that the problem was in my own Windows dialer, but mainly it appears to be my ISP's settings.

1.7.x is out of date and unmaintained. Could you try a recent version of SeaMonkey or nightly (http://www.seamonkey-project.org/releases/) please?

Is comment #11 the solution?
hrm, Arun. if i may ask why you bring up an almost 2yrs old thread back up?
and, speaking of my case
> just restart the service
was the solution.

Just going through the mass of UNCONFIRMED bugs (700+) on the suite and trying to get as many closed as possible. :)
