This always has been appearing most of the time whenever I want to open up a web page. Is this because of the webpage itself or my settings are off?

sharmat1,
Could be either one. Can't tell unless you provide more information.
How are you connected to the internet?
What is your connection speed?
What OS?
What browser?
What machine specs?

Sorry I tend to forget most of that info but here it is.
Most of this happens if I open up a link or a webpage. It does not do it a WHOLE LOT but I've noticed a difference.
Win98 SecEd
P2 450Mhz Intel Proc.
Dial-Up (Standard)
96MB of RAM
System Resources Varies from 69% to 74%
File System: 32-bit
Disk Compression: Not Installed

But does it have to do anything with my settings?

sharmat1,
If this is sporadic and on different sites, chalk it up to problems with their servers. If you see a consistent pattern, verify your DNS server settings from your ISP, check for a host file, check your network settings, etc.
If this was XP, there is a known issue with XP caching bad DNS requests as well as good which can also cause this sort of behavior. Patching this can improve performance.
Hope that helps.

The Page Cannot be Displayed for example, a couple of days ago I went on a webpage and today that message appeared. With it, it had several links like refresh page and try again later somthing like that.
sharmat1,
We need to know more...
1) When you get the message, are any other websites working?
- If not, then there's a connection problem with your dial-up service
2) If other websites work, does hitting "refresh" make a difference?
- If not, it may be a problem with the website
3) What's the name of your dial-up service?
- AOL, MSN, Earthlink, etc?

This is a common problem with win98se ,i presume you are actually connected to the web [tv icons in task bar ]
This could be one or a combination of a few problems ,first test to do is to see if you are hitting the server by pinging ,in dos [start ,programmes ,dos ]
at the dos windows prompt type "ping " you should get a list of responses with times etc ,if not you may get "host unknown " or "timed out "
Try a few other well known sites like yahoo etc and see what response you get ,if you still get no response it could be a file called winsock32.dll which will need replacing from the win98cd as it may be corrupt or missing or it may be tcp/ip fault in networks as suggested above by TheOldMan346
Hope this helps

I am getting the same problem (have 4 PCs on small network):
** I have 4 PCs (2 wireless and 2 cabled) running through a couple of linksys routers connected to one 3Com cable modem going to the internet.
** 3 PCs are running Win98 and the 4th PC running WinME.
** 3 PCs are PI to PII (Win98) and 4th is PIII (WinME).
** All PCs are using various brands of NIC cards.
** All PCs connect to the internet just fine but it is only the Win98 PCs that 80% of the time have intermittant problems with web sites. ** I am managing my own web site from the U.S. that is hosted in the UK and when I attempt to pull up the site in a browser I get the 'The page cannot be displayed' error 95% of the time on all the Win98 PCs but have no problem whatsoever doing so from the WinME PC.
** The same holds true as the last point when attempting to connect to that same host to check email via Outlook on the Win98 PCs but have no problem whatsoever doing so from the WinME PC.
The only problem source points that I can think of would be:
1) OS
2) NIC
3) router
4) Cable modem
5) network configuration (NIC/Router/OS/Cable Modem)
6) ISP (configuration of my account/backbone connection)
7) Internet (time through hops/etc)
8) Web site host (configuration of my account)
9) Web site host in general
Anyone know of a solution or having similar problems??

Hi gogav,
Physician heal thyself
You picked out a lot of items there and probably all of them could cause you problems - that the wonder of...
The only thing that immediately springs to mind to check is your network settings. Look to see if you have got any network settings (adapters etc.) that are left over from previous configurations - If you have get rid of them.
Regards.
