    its the Cookies mate, you adjusted your browser settings I suspect (like privacy) or they just timed out, or you ran a spyware checker etc.

    shouldn’t make much odds… its browser based.

    Anyway… when you login… do you type your name and then the password and Tick that box?

    Hi Rich,

    its a known problem with ebay and aol, in the past i have found checking the MTU setting in the router is advisable, in most cases it should be set to 1400 along with the MRU. On many a router changing this setting cures the ebay problem, (slow loading or non existant!). There are other possiblities however as you mentioned you had played bout with router other day it could be possible.

    hope this helps, if not let me know as theres few other things to try.

    EDIT: forgot to mention ensure mss is set to 1360 or 1340

    My suggestion for AOL is to scrap it.

    They are useless for business, all designed for home kids protection for internet
