Firefox problem

[ramprasad]

Hi,

I have IE8 and FF3.6 running on a HP laptop with Vista(SP1).
I need to access an ip in the range 172.16.*.*: port/page.php

I can access it in IE8 without any problems.
But, I am not able to access it in FF3.6

Can anyone help me with a solution ?

Regards

what error u r getting..? u need to elaborate u r problem...

[ajayashish]

i believe there need to be some problem with the firewall or antivirus. Can u turn off ur antivirus and check once.

[ramprasad]

@khmadhu : I just get a "Page canot be displayed" sort of error.
@ajayashish: I have a firewall, but this range of ip is configured as safe ip range.

Thanks for both ur replies....

[ajayashish]

Can u disable the firewall and Antivirus and check

[khmadhu]

and also if u r LAN is using any proxy, then u need to put 172.16.*.* in "no proxy" in Firefox.
edit->preferences->advanced->network->settings->no proxy.

u r not able to browse only local sites..? or all sites..?

[ramprasad]

@kmadhu
I will try that
I am not able to access only local sites... www opens fine.

Something like this is the defect of firefox or your firefox must be a beta version

[ramprasad]

Diasbled AV and Firewall...
Still not connecting to 172.16.x.x range.

Any more thoughts....?

[khmadhu]

did u try that adding the ip range in no proxy..?
where u r using u r computer in home or office..?

when u press enter after typing in the url, what u see in the status bar(down left) in firefox..(connnecting to. or waiting for.. or looking up...?).

@kmadhu:

computer is @home
looking up...

Have you checked the compatibility issue ? as my router home page of 172.1.*.* doesn't open correctly in ff though it works well in ie8.
There are still some default manufacture sites that doesn't open in ff correctly. I raised a ticket for this @mozilla !!

@neerajvohra
same with me here... I cannot open the router page either...
Let me know if you get any reply from them.

[khmadhu]

what is that u r trying to access..? is it a website? or any ftp/file server..? or some virtual server..?
when u hit enter with ip in the URL, Firefox will not show looking up.., that's only when u enter a domain name.

may be some plug-ins may be missing.. which is in IE but not in FF.

its your 24OnlineClient Server path.
anyway you cant access it through FF it requires IE +6 version

there is nothing you can do about this.

FF quote " Please ask your service provider to add ff in their compatibility list"

There is nothin we can do..but to keep a window open for 172.x.x.x and browsing through FF

@neerajvohra:
Thanks a lot for the update.
I will continue to use IE8 to access the 172.* IP range...
