Diagnose Connection Problems in IE 8

I faced Diagnose Connection Problems in IE (Internet Explorer) on Windows 7. Earlier, I faced Diagnose Connection Problems number of times but the workaround was to confirm that internet is working? Also, if the internet connection is working fine, does the DNS is also working fine on the computer?

Here, We need few confirmation to fix Diagnose Connection Problems in IE (Internet Explorer). Namely, I confirm IP Address settings, DNS settings or internet connectivity on the computer. Currently, Diagnose Connection Problems occur when the user runs his Visual Studio 2010 application on localhost in debug mode. In addition to this, he tries to access an HTML form that retrieves data from the SQL server (another computer). The error was something like as under.

Internet Explorer 8 Diagnose Connection Problems

Solution:-  

I checked with lot of normal & formal solution but I get solved this issue as below;

  1. Click Start > RUN
  2. Type regedit and press Enter
  3. Navigate to registry Key:
  4. HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Internet Settings
  5. In Detail Pane, locate ReceiveTimeout subkey.
  6. Delete this subkey.

Now, the question is that what does this subkey do? Well, this subkey limits Microsoft Windows Internet (WinINet) to a specific time and then the page expires. Thus, as per image and error description, it shows expected issue but If you don’t want to delete this subkey and want to solve this issue while leaving this subkey in registry, you must increase your time in this subkey. Here is a Microsoft support link for your reference.
