internet help – problems logging into sites?

[David Rowland]

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.

[Robert Lambie]

do you have cookies enabled?
have you installed any new antvirus/firewall software?

[Richard Urquhart]

had a look no sure what to do where do check i did play about with the router the other day

[David Rowland]

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?

[Richard Urquhart]

it ask me to do it again ????

[David Rowland]

ok i can get on all sites apart from ebay

but if i go in to alo i can get ebay

so wirless network is working but can get ebay using firefox or other only using aol
had a problem the other day as aol are now blocking port 25 for outgoing email using outlook
whats going on???

[Gary Davis]

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

[Richard Urquhart]

My suggestion for AOL is to scrap it.

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

[Richard Urquhart]

dave i agree what with them stopping me sending emails with my own smtp by blocking port 25

i think its time to get rid of aol (:) (:) (:) (:) (:) (:) (:) (:) (:) (:) (:)
