Title: Ebay problems
Post by: mantahatch on 20 November 2011, 19:27:27
I cannot access ebay from home. I just get the message "Internet Explorer cannot display the webpage " have also tried to ebay.com and ebay.eu and ebay.de all the same. The only one I can get on is ebay Australia.

Any suggestions gratefully received.

Oh just noticed I could have edited the original.

Sorry but no it does not. Generally use IE8 but have just tried Chrome and that is the same.

Glad to hear it. The first time I discovered it I was almost tearing my hair out at one particular site that, only rarely, just decided not to load, and I discovered the cure by accident. I'm using a Belkin G router, and if one of our tech whizzes can  tell me why this should occur I would be delighted.:y

I suspect it's down to build quality because almost every "domestic" router I have used has occasionally had to be reset due to connectivity problems in one form or another, some of them on an almost weekly basis (eg, the newer Netgears).
I currently use a TL-R4299G dual WAN router that has been faultless to date, but I doubt many here will want to spend almost £200 on a hard wired only router.

What you could try, to stop it happening again.....is put a time switch on the router.....i used to have connectivity probs about once a week, resetting the router fixed it. Now mine turns off at midnight and back on again at 5am.....dont have any issues now  :y

Good plan, if I could fit a timer in amongst the spagetti to the trailing extension. Why hasn't someone devised a one plug connector for all the computer bits?
