To expand:
Youtube and all other effected sites can be reached by ping so a connection can
definitely be made.
I think the issue is possibly something either to do with flash, the browser or
some security software in the background.
What makes it tricky is that these sites work when the machine is connected to
the router using a wired connection. It is only when using wireless that it
fails to work.
The error is a standard: "The page cannot be displayed" message.
One thing that I've checked but I'm not convinced it's correct is the MTU
setting for the BT connection. On my router it's 1432 however BT insist that
it's 1400. If set incorrectly, this could account for slower than normal page
loading resulting in a timeout.
When pinging youtube for example, no packets are lost.
I think he has now upgraded to IE8 and I assume is still experiencing the
issue.
As Nicky said, any suggestions would be very appreciated as at the moment I'm
drawing a blank.

Subject: [vicsireland] problems with certain websites
Hi folks, I am receiving some help with this problem but would like opinions
from people here as someone maybe has experienced this problem. I am using a
Samsung netbook mc10 and am having problems connecting to certain websites. IE
just says that it can't connect to the website and gives the usual error thing
about checking that I have the address typed in corectly. I have just
installed IE 8 to see if it might make a difference but it doesn't. One of the
sites for example is youtube and I also tried connecting to ireland.com earlier
and I can't get into it either.
If anyone has any suggestions I would be grateful to hear them.
Cheers, Nicky.
