What Does a "Server Hangup" Mean?

Server hangups can occur due to problems with the client or server.

A server hangup error is an issue that occurs when a device is unable to successfully communicate with a remote server. The error appears when the server ends the a data connection before the transmission between server and client is completed.

System Difficulties

When you receive a "Server Hangup" message it is possible that the problem is with the server itself, rather than with your mobile device or computer. Try logging in again in a few minutes or try accessing the faulty website using a different device. You can also input the website's name into a service such as "CheckSite.us" or "downforeveryoneorjustme.com" to check the website's status.

Device Glitch

If the website appears to be functioning properly, the problem must be with your network device. Sometimes server hangup errors occur due to a program load or memory error. You can fix such temporary errors by rebooting your computer or mobile device. Also try rebooting and reconnecting your router or wireless gateway device.

Browser Reinstallation

Sometimes network connection errors can occur if your Web browser system files or settings become corrupt. If you only receive the error when attempting to access the website through one Web browser, download and reinstall a new copy of the browsing software.

IE Troubleshooting

If you experience a server hangup error while using Microsoft Internet Explorer you may be able to fix the problem with the built-in Internet Explorer Troubleshooter application. From the Windows Control panel, click "System and Security" and then click "Find and Fix Problems." Next, click the "View All" link and "Internet Explorer Performance" to open the Troubleshooting wizard. Follow the onscreen prompts to identify and fix configuration issues.
