I can open Pogo games using other browsers and have updated my Java Plug-ins in FireFox This message is received each time I try:

The connection was reset 




         The connection to the server was reset while the page was loading.
       




 The site could be temporarily unavailable or too busy. Try again in a few
   moments.
 If you are unable to load any pages, check your computer's network
   connection.
 If your computer or network is protected by a firewall or proxy, make sure
   that Firefox is permitted to access the Web.

Help anyone?

What about clearing the cache and cookies? The section at which the link starts "The problem only happens with certain websites", suggests clearing the cache and cookies for three message types:

  • The connection was interrupted
  • The connection was reset -- isn't that similar to the message in your question?
  • The connection has timed out

Checking the proxy setting is suggested for 2 other messages, not "The connection to the server was reset":

  • The proxy server is refusing connections
  • Unable to find the proxy server

I tried this suggestion and still get the same message even when I changed the connection to "No proxy". I had tried it before from your first response but tried again - this time shutting down my computer over the supper hour - thinking the rest would help. The strange part is FireFox loads the Pogo page with no trouble - I can move from page to page within Pogo with no trouble but when I click on a game in the list of games - instead of the game popping up I get the message I wrote about. Any other ideas.? appreciate you taking time to offer suggestions!
