Morning Stuart, Windows is already managing the wireless network. A third party manager hasn't stepped into the middle. However, I'll look into the drivers. A better one may be available. Thanks for the suggestion. You may have just hit the nale on the head. -----Original Message----- From: vicsireland-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:vicsireland-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Stuart Lawler Sent: 16 April 2009 08:46 To: vicsireland@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [vicsireland] Re: problems with certain websites Hi Darragh, If this is only happening when the machine is on a wireless connection then I'd suggest removing the Samsung wireless drivers or manager and letting windows manage the wireless network. I wasn't aware that it only happened on wireless and my first thoughts were more about internet explorer security settings. Removing the Samsung wireless software should fix that.

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.

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.
