Default Network Error - solution.

Fed up seeing this all the time? (I certainly am)

Network Error (tcp_error)

A communication error occurred: ""
The Web Server may be down, too busy, or experiencing other problems preventing it from responding to requests. You may wish to try again at a later time
Here's a simple solution (if you're not using a VPN). Simply tack "&asdasdsad" onto the URL:

e.g.

Code:
http://britishexpats.com/forum/showthread.php?t=702710&page=6
becomes

Code:
http://britishexpats.com/forum/showthread.php?t=702710&page=6&asdasdas
(The text after the "&" can be anything - just some random characters).

This may be related to the proxies in the UAE caching incorrectly, hence the idea to alter the URL.

S'not just the UAE, happens to me in Bahrain and Saudi too. Good tip though - will try it next time that I get the error.
