    I am having a very odd problem accessing a website. I am overseas at the moment and the apartment in which I live has plug in broadband and wireless, two separate accounts with the same provider. My problem is that when I use the plug in broadband I can access the particular site no problem but when I use the wireless I cannot access it at all. I have no idea at all what is going on. Have no problem with any other website and it isn't a blocked message I am getting, just the type you get when the website is down, even when I know it's not. Any ideas???

    Need more info 2 accounts?

    Sounds DNS related, add the site name and its IP to your hosts file and try again with the wireless - if that works DNS.

    but before that

    Ping the site name does it resolve to an IP address?

    What is the exact message being displayed when you cannot access the site? As has been already pointed out, are you using seperate PC's?

    Using the same computer when accessing sites. Just a different method of internet access. TTM I'm not a techie so have no idea what your message means. Sorry. The error message that shows up reads as follows:

    Connection Interrupted
    The connection to the server was reset while the page was loading.
    The network link was interrupted while negotiating a connection. Please try again.

    From the error msg you are connecting to the site (So not a DNS issue) but it looks like you are loosing the connection possibly to the wireless connection?

    Whats the signal strength like on the Wireless and how far away is the wireless router anything between it and the PC?

    First thing I think I'd do is take a look for any new wireless drivers for your system and install them.

    Thanks for getting back to me ttm. I am less than a meter away from the wireless router and my laptop is relatively new. I've never had any issues with accessing any sites before.
