Hi All, I find myself in Geneva for the weekend, where I am using a WiFi connection. The ISP is bluewin.ch and the speed is quite low. On average I have seen max download speeds of 448Kbps, while a stream download from e.g. apple trailers soon settles down to around 93kbps.
Trying to emerge fails to establish an rsync connection.
Trying to stream internet radio fails every time and as if this wasn't bad I
cannot connect to www.britishairways.com to book online for my return flight!
My friends WinXP does not seem to have such problems. He can connect to
www.britishairways.com and this has confused me and perplexed me a lot.
What's with his Windoze machine that allows him to connect to websites that I
cannot?

==========================================================================
Is BA, internet radio streams, and other select sites, block traffic from
Switzerland? Why's my friend's WinXP machine getting through to the BA site?
Is he sending out special html headers that allow him through and my Gentoo
machine is not? How do I troubleshoot this one?
