809487 - Yahoo Mail website not available after connection is lost

Status: RESOLVED WORKSFORME

(Core :: Networking, defect)

Description

[something9999]

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.1; rv:17.0) Gecko/17.0 Firefox/17.0
Build ID: 20121031065642

Steps to reproduce:

While connected to a wireless network I launched mail.yahoo.com.
At some point, wireless connection gets lost and clicking the Check email button in Yahoo interface gives HTML error (due to connection lost).
However, after connection comes back reloading the entire mail.yahoo page gives a blank page with a message like "address not configured"
Sometimes, cleaning all the cookies and browser data and reloading the page works - the mail.yahoo page is displayed correctly.
Sometimes even cleaning the cookies does not help - I still get the "address not configured" message.
After a while (5-10 minutes) if I reload the page, it loads ok.


Actual results:

I got "Address not configured" message even if wireless connection was ok.


Expected results:

mail.yahoo page should have been displayed correctly after wireless connection was back.

Do you have a special login page at your wifi connection (hotspot) ?

No, no special login page. Normal wireless network connection.
The error message is "No address has been configured for mail.yahoo.com" or something like that.

The exact message is:
"No site configured at this address"
while in the address bar I have: mail.yahoo.com and wireless connection available after the connection has been down.

Could not reproduce for a LAN network, plugging and unplugging the cable, refreshing the site. 

Maybe this helps: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/300238

NO IIS installed.
Did not try plugging/unplugging the cable, but after wireless connection is down it's reproduced every time.
In Chrome I don't have this problem no matter how the wireless connection fluctuates.
Also, after I clear all Firefox current history, the website loads ok.

bagders network id reset work probably helped here
