Issues with FireFox/Explorer

[Talaki34]

I just tried to get on the internet via Firefox and then Explorer. I cannot access anything. It keeps telling me that all the certificates are expired.

I managed to get here by using my bookmark for the WSB.

Is anyone else having the same problem? Any suggestions?

Check the date and time of your computer. If it is off by a month or a year, it’ll give you that message.

I was unable to connect this evening. I don’t think it is the computer but a problem with Comcast. Turned the computer off for an hour and I’m now connected. Sometimes in the early evening I’m guessing the internet gets overloaded.

Don’t know where you’re at but I saw a Comcast repair truck working on some overhead cables on 14th yesterday evening.

Try releasing your IP address, flushing your DNS, then renewing your IP address.

Click the Windows Start button

In the “Run” (Windows XP) or “Search programs and files” (Windows 7) text box, type “cmd” (sans quotes)

A Command Prompt window will come up

Type “ipconfig /release” (sans quotes)

Then type “ipconfig /flushdns” (sans quotes)

Then type “ipconfig /renew” (sans quotes)

Not sure how it’s done in Windows 8 or later, but likely similar (just need to locate the “command prompt” in your applications / programs menu and enter commands as noted above.)

Might work but not guaranteed, but it’s worth a shot.

I had issues with the Firefox this past weekend and finally seemed to get it resolved. Then Microsoft updated and this started.

After I posted here, I was able to locate an old post from Ken and he helped me do some troubleshooting.

You were spot on dhg!

Thanks to everyone for helping me get back up and running!
