can't connect to link to download drivers

anyone else having trouble downloading drivers here? My browsers (Mozilla and IE) keep timing out when I try to download drivers for my HP L1940T LCD Monitor. I sent an email to HP and have had absolutely no response!

Yes,everyone is having problems.Very sporadic performance on driver dl's.
Also most of the links to order Recovery sets on models lead to "Page can not be displayed".

Re: can't connect to link to download drivers

The error message is:
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Failed to Connect

Firefox can't establish a connection to the server at ftp.hp.com.

Though the site seems valid, the browser was unable to establish a connection.

* Could the site be temporarily unavailable? Try again later.
* Are you unable to browse other sites? Check the computer's network connection.
* Is your computer or network protected by a firewall or proxy? Incorrect settings can interfere with Web browsing.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The links I have tried are:

ftp://ftp.hp.com/pub/softpaq/sp35001-35500/sp35439.exe

ftp://ftp.hp.com/pub/softpaq/sp36501-37000/sp37000.exe/

ftp://ftp.hp.com/pub/softpaq/sp38001-38500/sp38462.exe

ftp://ftp.hp.com/pub/softpaq/sp34001-34500/sp34288.exe

I can't seem to connect to any of the drivers; however, I had no problem downloading from two other locations (work and a friend's computer).

I use ZoneAlarm and Spyware Blaster, but I have no problem with any other site on the web, so I can't see why I'd have a problem with HP's site - I don't get it...

Thank you very much.

The problem for me was the Firewall of our gateway.

Re: can't connect to link to download drivers

yea I can't download any of them.
it is an old problem and still not fixed!
I tried from 3 different PCs no results

Hopefully the tech team will check it not just saying 'thank you for report'

here are some links:
ftp://ftp.hp.com/pub/softpaq/sp27501-28000/sp27532.exe/

ftp://ftp.hp.com/pub/softpaq/sp36501-37000/sp36746.exe/

2. i clicked the little bar under it saying "mmore information on this error"
3. i copied the link supplied from this box
4.pasted into address bar

Re: can't connect to link to download drivers

This is driving me crazy as well (excuse the pun). I can├в t get it to download either (I tried the trick mentioned above and you must have the magic touch because that did not work for me). If anyone has a solution would you PLEASE! Post it, I can├в t find my disk and my printer is currently useless. Any help would be appreciated.
