web browsing probs

[jack]

Hi guys ive got a slight problem!

I thought that the problem was easy to sort but its proving to be harder than i thought for some unkown reason anyway the problem

Basicly browsing certain pages online dont work ie
Login on to ebuyer
registering to ebuyer
Adding an item to tekheads basket
checking out at Komplett
Registering/login on to certain forums

Now i thought this was a cookie problem and went through the process of enabling cookies in IE6
Select Tools
Select Internet Options
Select the Privacy tab.
Select Advanced
Deselect override automatic cookie handling button
Click on the OK button at the bottom of the screen.
Click OK to exit

but the problem persist's??

Long shot - check that your network cards MTU setting isn't too hard - you'll need to download some sort of network card tweaking program to change that though - or alter the setting on your router if you have one.

However, MTU problems tend to cause more general site problems rather than the specific ones you have highlighted.

Try a different browser perhaps? Just to see if IE is the problem?

Try'd netscape and the problem goes. So what's up with IE6 ?? how do i sort it?

IE6 is crap, that's the problem. MS "innovated" until they killed Netscape, then they got bored and stopped working on it.

Download firebird. It's a better browser.

I have to agree. The only reason IE6 is still used on my PC is for Uni Outlook Web Access, it doesn't work/is all over the place/unusable in Firebird. Otherwise, its excellent.

The cookie management and tabs are my favourite functions, alongside the built in Google search abilities in the toolbar.

Excellent browser.
