502 Bad Gateway

[pussyfoot]

hi all, I keep getting error message 502 bad gateway & losing my connection, what is this & how can I fix it and stop it happening. Thank you...

It means one server received an invalid response from another server it was accessing, while attempting to load the web page. You can't do much to stop it happening. The servers need to be sorted.

As had been indicated. '502' errors aren't usually 'at your end'. If the problem is with a server that your computer is trying to connect to (rather than with your own computer or with your internet connection) you can't fix it.

However it's still possible that the problem is associated with your browser. Try a different browser and/or clear your browser's cache and cookies. For further suggestions, see here:

Tell your browser to stop pussyfooting around.

Try a different browser ?

Try Firefox:

If you can get access with Firefox, but not with Chrome,them it's definitely a problem with Chrome. (See the suggestions in my link above for possible solutions).

If you still experience problems with Firefox then either your security software is blocking access (check the settings) or there's a problem with Windows (try running System Restore).
