1. A method of masking errors that may occur during a delay of a client connecting with a server on a network, comprising:
- requesting a connection with the server;
determining if an error occurred;
if the error occurred, again requesting a connection with the server while displaying a first browser page presented by the client that indicates a connection is being made, but not indicating that the error occurred, displaying a browser page presented by the server when the connection is made; and
determining if an error other than a timeout error occurred, displaying a second browser page presented by the client that indicates an error occurred if an error other than the timeout error occurred and canceling the request to make the connection, wherein the second browser page presented by the client indicates that a minimum browser level was not met.

A system is disclosed for masking errors that may occur during a delay of a client connecting with a server on a network. A connection utility requests a connection with the server. The connection utility determines if a timeout error occurred. If the timeout error occurred, a first browser page presented by the client is displayed to indicate a connection is being made. A browser page presented by the server is displayed when the connection is made.

8. A system for masking errors that may occur during a delay of a client connecting with a server on a network, the system comprising:
-
a logic storable on a memory medium, wherein the logic includes a connection utility; wherein the connection utility requests a connection with the server and determines if an error occurred; and wherein, if the error occurred, the connection utility again requests a connection with the server while a browser page presented by the client is displayed that indicates a connection is being made, but not indicating that the error occurred, and displaying a browser page presented by the server when the connection is made; and wherein the logic determines if a minimum browser level is met, and if the minimum browser level is not met, the logic sends a signal to display a second browser page presented by the client that indicates that the minimum browser level was not met and the attempt to connect with the server is ceased. - View Dependent Claims (9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15)
