It is a most strange issue I am having - I can browse on BBC News
(venture too far away from the mobile site though and things go downhill - from a technical point of view not the sites content
), HPC Factor works ok
(except for the forum search functionality which returns internal error 500 messages - which probably explains the lack of posts I've seen saying "Search!" to noobs
), Google searching
(google mail especially - the netbook was bought for quick email after all so yeay!
) and msn news
I come a croper when I attempt to go to youtube, ebay
(including the mobile site which says it is unavailable but will come up on my W5 Phone that uses the same WiFi
) - after the home pages partially load the connection goes bye bye and I am left having to soft reset. I am most annoyed about ebay as I really want to be able to check my bid status quickly and without too much fuss
Youtube doesn't matter really as from what I hear the netbook doesn't do video too well and I doubt I even have the correct version of Flash player
(if my NBPRO even has one at all
)
I thought of pinging the sites but ebay won't reply from any machine I try and ping from and youtube seems quite happy to be pinged for as long as I want - not a very reliable test clearly.
Maybe it is a problem with internet explorer 6 on the netbook? I'll try getting ebay on GPRS and have a look around for a better browser which I could do with anyway.
I ordered an SD > PCMCIA adaptor on ebay in hope that maybe it is a slot issue - worth a try.
Cheers
