While these failures occur, can you do other things over the network?
Check mail, view other web pages, ftp, etc?
"the network refuses to send me to ebay pages" is not very
descriptive. *Exactly* what happens? Do you get some sort of error
message? Does the browser seem to be hung trying to translate the
ebay domain names to ip addresses? Do you get an empty window,
untitled? etc...
Sid replies:
I can do almost everything else-- check email, view other web pages,
do google searches, etc.
Only on ebay, and a few other sites. I have a hunch that security or
encryption has something to do with it? Like if it's a site that
requires me to submit a visa card number for an online transaction.
But all other sites work, email works, and, the most important
conundrum, in my own mind, is that these very same pages will work
just fine if I hook straight to the ethernet cable that I would have
ordinarily have hooked to the airport base station.
Another conundrum is that rarely, very rarely, all of these same ebay
and similar will work. But only very rarely.
So, it seems a strange, unusual situation, but, as they say, there is
nothing new under the sun, and I feel certain that someone, somewhere
has had this problem before.
