Reloaded twice, and so far no cigar. I have a proxy thing called GhostSurf but I set it to not hide my personal information and ip and stuff so Opera should be working. Afterall both my IE and Firefox seem to be just fine. What gives?

Hello, glh!

I get the same sort of thing every time the last few days: with clicking on links, logging on to forums, or clicking on a button (like 'Submit' which hopefully will work when I have finished this...) I'm getting a bit desperate after trying for two whole days to determine what's happening here. I just installed a clean version of Opera just to see whether the same thing would happen, with none of my profile and mail things in the way - it did. And I am at a loss to understand why. Cookies? AV? I tried many things already.

So - I hope you'll solve your problem. (I don't have a proxy server, btw.)

I'll give it another try.)

Yeah I tried to do a clean reinstall too and it didn't work. And I love Opera so this is really messing with me.

Did you also delete the mail and profile folder? Opera leaves them behind when uninstalling.

Instead of the clean install you can do the profile reset: http://my.opera.com/neeraj_deshmukh/blog/show.dml/319153 . It brings the browser to factory defaults. Let us know if it helped. There are other factors causing your problem.

I can't find the opera6.ini thing. And I don't understand what that has to do with my problem of not being able to get a connection on Opera. :?

The opera6.ini stores Opera's settings. Sometimes with upgrading it can get corrupted (as Neeraj states throughout versions sometimes even the syntax of it changes; that caused quite a few problem when going from Opera 8 to9).

The path to the profile can be found here in Opera: Help --> About Opera. It usually is in c:\documents and settings\...\. It is a system folder and is invisible in Windows Explorer in the default settings. You can make it visible. Go to Control Panel --> Folder Options --> chooose the second tab from the left. There are two options that you need change to make system files visible.

From your answer I assuume you didn't delete the profile and mail folders. So before doing the profile reset start with deleting cache and cookies. Go to Tools --> Delete Private data --> details --> choose all but the passwords of course and clean. Now restart Opera and see if that helped.

c:\documents and settings\...\? It says that isn't a valid destination. And all the files are set as visible.

Check the path to the profile folder here (like I stated before): Help --> About Opera.

I am having the same issue as stated originally ......

I tried redownloading it, then redownloading if and deleting the opera6.ini , but i still get the same internal communication error.....it's not being blocked by a firewall and i have no proxy server.

You tried to access the address http://redir.opera.com/www.opera.com/firstrun/, which is currently unavailable. Please make sure that the Web address (URL) is correctly spelled and punctuated, then try reloading the page.

As you can see above it still fails when i delete the opera6.ini, even on the firstrun url...........

thanks in advance for any responses to help,

Are any of you on reasonably slow networks? I've had this happen occasionally since around the 10.5 alphas. It only occurs when submitting a web form of some kind, and it seems to be happening more often now that I've returned from a blazing fast university network to my much slower home DSL connection.

I've downgraded to opera 10 from 10.53 and 10 doesn't have this issue, hopefully opera can work this out when they go past the version 10.53 and sorry about the comma at the end of my url link didn't notice

....

Thanks to everyone that has tried to help,

I've been having the same error. Using 10.53 I get "could not connect to remote server" then after retrying I get "internal communication error". I tried uninstalling and and deleting all Opera related directories and files. After reinstall, same error. Then I tried to back up to 10.51 instead of 10.53 and it works fine. All my other browsers work fine too, so not a connection issue. Its a bug in 10.53. Not sure if I should avoid the upgrade notice now.
I'm running under Win XP SP3.

I'm trying to think of a compelling reason to go to this much effort to overcome such a fundamental problem with Opera. I like it, it's really severely broken and there are plenty of other browsers. I think Opera just lost me.

Having Internal Communication Error on a number of sites including my.opera.com login. All attempts including extraordinary effort (clean install) failed to resolve the error. This started (suddenly) with v12.10 which updated to v12.11 which seems to behavior a bit better.

Internal Communication Error is occurring on a number of computers that varying from Windows XP Home SP3; Windows XP PRO SP3; Windows 7 SP1; etc.

What is the workaround to resolved this?

Windows XP PRO SP3; Opera 12.11

Hi guys I had this problem too but mine was solved simply by closing and reopening Opera after I deleted private data...queer.

i have this problem, too since i upgrade opera to opera 12. the problem exists when the first time i open opera, so what i do is i close and then open opera. it is just kind of annoying because i have to open and close opera in which i have to wait a little while before i can brows the internet.

Thanks for the tip but this hasn't helped on none of the computers having this problem. Returning to Opera v12.02 is the only workaround that's worked. Try installing v12.12 over 12.02 too but the problem returns.

On a general note: this is a longstanding problem and I expect a simple search to reveal all comments, answers, workarounds and Opera acknowledgement that the problem is real. Can't even find my bug report or anybody else bug report either. Has this problem been dismissed as user error and not an Opera bug?

Upgraded from the reliable Opera 12.10 thinking Op.v12.11 would be better but how wrong I was: On closing Internet connection then connecting again while Opera is open,I must get the Internal comm. error so I have to close Opera then reopen it while the Internet connection is on. I then upgraded to 12.12 smiling as I thought the problem was now history but to my surprise..
BTW, upon trying to downgrade to 12.10 from 12.11, a forced upgrade occurred,taking me back to square one.

What is the solution to this annoying problem please?

I have this happening only with Facebook. Doing some more research about this "internal communication error". Disabling extensions and js has not helped. Very annoying...
