If you want reasonable responses, I suggest you start a new thread with your question - adding more details of your system, what programmes you use, etc. Be nice to know exactly what stage you were at when the evnt occurred, etc. And welcome. :cool: Scouse (83)
338555 2005-04-03 06:06:00 Hi Scilla. The original poster here got the bullet for posting self advertising material.Actually this poster did not get any "bullet". He just made a random post and then vanished without letting us onto his secret. It might just have to remain one of those mysteries :rolleyes: Jen (38)
338556 2005-04-03 06:53:00 Oooops! Sorry Jen. I read too much in to his brief appearance with what I thought was probably going to be spam. Thought you may have shot him down when he never fronted again. :cool: Scouse (83)
338557 2005-04-03 06:57:00 By the way Jen. I like your apt-get moo (www.themuy.com) :cool: Scouse (83)

Hi,

Well I was really brassed of with my surf experiance because for no apparent reason my browser just stopped . I would be happily clicking away on links to here there everywhear and suddenly my browser Firefox, Netscape and I . e would just sit there for ages doing nothing . I could click on a link as much as I liked and yet nothing . Then all of a sudden off it went and everything was fine for a while then the same thing again .

I checked the net for answers and lo an behold loads of people were reporting this strange ocurance .

Finally I found the answer on a site the name of which I can not remember .

It suggested that I dissable my lan connection . I did that and WALA everything is going 100 miles an hour and I have not had a problem since .

GOTO device manager disable lan conector, restart computer and all done .

I am well happy now .

royston .

Hmm . Sounds like rubbish . Or are you using a dial-up connection?
If I disabled LAN my internet would come to a grinding halt . I have jetstream using ethernet .

338561 2005-04-04 00:27:00 kinda makes sence .

with win9x/me windows can have a bit of a glitch when you have a network present . the mtu value is set to auto (it will change from 576 to 1500, dailup to lan) . however it sometimes in error will change from from 576 to 1500 when you are useing dailup and cause the pauseing .

this can be even worse if the browser is doing a lookup over lan (which is caused by slow DNS servers) . eg the dns server is slow to respond so the browser looks for a dns server over the lan connection .

Hardly the same as disabling LAN completely though!

338563 2005-04-04 00:45:00 its fairly rare. tho easly fixable by changeing the mtu setting. however it also slows the lan down to dailup speed. however there is a way around that to. local DNS cacheing also heaps.
but the biggest problem to browser pauseing is often phone lines, poor seetings or incorrect modem drivers.
disabling lan is not a gauranteed fix. it might help, it might not.
