Sometimes this error may occur during the loading process of the website when you disable the connection (Internet access). It is clear that you need to check the connection, or restore it to, say, restart a computer terminal or router. Will not help - you need to contact your ISP and find out the reason for the lack of access to the Network.

In some cases the error "File not found” may be associated with the fact that the requested website is no longer present on the server. In other words, he “moved”, but when you access the old address redirects to the new web resource occurs. What to do in this case? Use any search engine and download it again (new address).

How to fix the error using your browser settings, and network connections

In addition to the above quick ways to remedy the situation, you can use a normal page refresh (F5). Who knows, maybe for some reason the browser did not receive the server's response.

However, a universal method of correcting errors of this type (if not to take into account the possibility that the requested page do not exist on the server) may be clearing the cache and cookies.

Different browsers access these functions differently, but the essence remains the same.

More complicated is the situation where, for example, on a computer terminal or laptop, the page is not loaded with the subsequent issuance of the error message, and the mobile device everything works perfectly.

404 file not found

Apparently, the computer exhibited a misconfiguration of your Internet connection. Thus it is necessary to pay attention to that if on other devices access to the resource is, the problem may be related to DNS servers. To correct this situation, it is best to contact the provider support and find out the correct values then you will need to register in the appropriate fields of the DNS servers settings.

If the same error is repeated again and again, this may indicate incorrect operation of the server, where is this page, and possibly blocking of your site content. However, in this case a warning should be generated from either the antivirus or Windows security in the form of a firewall. Sometimes firewall alert may not be issued, so you should check the lists of exceptions and in brandmauer, and in your browser. But such situations – very rare.
