Weird Firefox Question and Macromedia.com....

Post by Damaramu »

Hey guys.

I'm using Firefox now and of course you know it doesn't have Flash Player installed in it. Now, everytime I try to download the fucker, I keep getting the "That Document Contains No Data" message from Firefox.

Even with IE, Macromedia.com seems to be down.

Now, is this just me or is this happening to others as well?

Thanks in advance! :?

From the command line, try 'tracert macromedia.com' and post the results.

You could try to install a trial version of Flash MX (if they still do that), that should put a flash player on your machine. On a side note running a trace route may not work, if you're behind a firewall which you have no control over.

Ok, I ran that but the window auto-closes before I can do anything. Are the results posted somewhere on my computer?

Hmm....could PeerGuardian have anything to do with this? I noticed I was getting pinged by Macromedia.com a lot while trying to go to their site. Hmm..... :?

are you just going run->tracert www.macromedia.com ? if so, do run->cmd; that'll give you a MS-DOS prompt, that won't close once the operation is complete.

Well.....installing Flash fixed the problem.......but I still can't access Macromedia's website. I did that trace thing with the cmd prompt, but couldn't copy and paste the results......

Ugh...I'm too sleepy to think about this right now.....but thanks for your help guys! :o

I had no problems downloading the latest Flash for Firefox via Firefox itself. Perhaps it is PeerGuardian causing your problem?
