Since installing a wireless network,Firefox will not access certain sites at all.

Ebay,AOL and many others just will not load at all

Any ideas ?

Another strange one I know but that seems to be just my luck

Are you saying that ONLY firefox won't access these sites or do you have the same problem in IE?

Have you checked your HOSTS file to see if those sites have been blocked?

Thanks again Flying Penguin !!

No IE will not access the site either.

I can access Ebay through AOL browser but the Login takes for ever

Funnily enough

I can access Canadas Ebay but not the .co.uk or .com site

Strange but true

You never clarified whether you're using standard broadband or AOL broadband.

AOL broadband will only work if AOL is running.

Not true unfortunately

If you have a router/modem you do not need to run AOL.a simple click on the browser and you are online

Just tried upgrading to Firefox 1.5 Beta and that hasnt cured it

Ah well

Perhaps the AOL browser will have to do for the sites not accesible by firefox
