We have evacuated so I'm not in my own area with my own provider. I am on a military base in Bossier City. LA on Barksdale AFB in their family campground, which does have Wi-Fi, or as they have on their paper work YiFi. Their provider I'm using for my connection is QOLNET. I've been having major problems connecting and sometimes are unable to connect at all. It has taken me over 2 hours to get to this page. I've had to go to Microsoft's main page then click on support and wait, wait, wait to the point of giving up and trying again. I finally shut-down and rebooted to be able to get this far. I'm using Windows Vista but don't know what other information you may need to have some idea of what the problem could be. Most of the pages I try to go to such as weather. com, my banking page, New Orleans local news TV stations pages result in the inability to load. My laptop is a Toshiba which was purchased just a year ago, August '07. If anyone can help me I'd appreciate any help I can get. Thanks in advance. -- my_realtor (Linda) |

It could also be a bandwidth issue - too many people trying to use a finite pipe. It could also be physical issues with the provider's network; after all, you evacuated because you're in the middle of some terrible weather. Check with other people - if they are having similar problems, it's the broadband provider. Malke -- MS-MVP Elephant Boy Computers - Don't Panic! FAQ - http://www.elephantboycomputers.com/#FAQ |

There's nothing you can do if an entire area is under attack from weather or human forces. If you're in the middle of a hurricane, the Internet cafes' broadband providers are going to be having the same issues as everyone else. There is no magic thought-transference method to enable you to get around physical constraints, at least not in this part of the Multiverse. Sorry.

::Hi all! I have a problem loading some pages. Since a week ago some pages don�t seem to work, and some work perfectly, with no problem, but pages like yahoo, youtube, Microsoft won�t load, and if they load ( yahoo mail ) it�s showing the text in no other with no frames just plain text. I don�t remember installing some software that might block these pages, I installed another browser but I have the same problem. The internet connection is very good and fast, so that�s not the problem. I uninstalled and deleted all the programs that were bad installed, and all temporary files, and history, and bad registry, I cleaned up my laptop, but nothing. I have Windows Vista Home Premium, on an HP laptop. I really need help. If you have some idea on what can I do please reply. Thank you a lot!:: -- A4you Posted via http://www.vistaheads.com |
