What to do when a network issue error has occurred in QuickBooks Online

Are you having network issues? Do you see an error message telling you a network issue has occurred? This article will walk you through some of the causes, and how to fix them.

Why do I see an error message?

When a network issue happens and QuickBooks Online displays the message (Error: a network problem has occurred) it means a portion of a page has not been fully loaded due to network issues. Resolving this issue is quick and easy by following a few simple steps.

How to remove the network error message

1. Select the Reload button or press F5 on your keyboard (Command + R if you're using a Mac) to download the entire page.
2. If the problem persists, restart your browser and then sign in to QuickBooks Online.
3. If refreshing the browser doesn't work, check if your computer is running any firewall software. If a firewall is present, configure it to allow access for http://accounting.quickbooks.com and https://qbo.intuit.com
4. If you're still getting the error message, contact a QuickBooks Online customer care representative.
