Failed to Connect issue

[uptick1]

I'm using Firefox browser however, I also tested this issue with IE and same issue as well.

Anybody have this issue where they download a website and you get this message as if you weren't connected to the internet even though you are:

"Failed to Connect
Firefox can't establish a connection to website.
Though the site seems valid, the browser was unable to establish a connection.

* Could the site be temporarily unavailable? Try again later.
* Are you unable to browse other sites? Check the computer's network connection.
* Is your computer or network protected by a firewall or proxy? Incorrect settings can interfere with Web browsing.

Firefox can't establish a connection to the server at ad.doubleclick.net."


This has nothing to do with cookies or exception issues as well. I think it has to do with java or the way the picture is uploaded, maybe a macrovideo issue?

Any suggestions?

Thanks

Thank you!

However, I have no clue what the solution they mentioned, on how to create a host file.

This is what the article mentioned:
"You could set up a hosts file on your computer, and include "doubleclick.net" in the list of sites to be blocked"

Any suggestions tech gurus or novice gurus, or somebody?

Thanks
