241535 2004-06-04 05:42:00 Does anyone else get lots of this page can not be displayed? Easpecially in afternoons, very frustrating hitting refresh or go couple of times on almost every site especially PressF1? I also type in web site address sometimes and get site nz.com and sometimes you type web address and it adds another www at front and another .com at end. Anyone else have these issues.Cheers. bruciebear (1478)
241536 2004-06-04 05:46:00 Yep.

And it definitely increases dramatically at busy times.

Been meaning to change my dns servers, but I really shouldn't be spending my time browsing anyway....

241539 2004-06-04 06:17:00 I'm pretty sure there is a setting in IE that will automatically put the www at the front and .com at the back of any addresses typed in the address bar - I can't find it but I recall seeing it there.

As for Jet-trickle..... I am currently using a Telecom supplied Log On for a month till Orcon and Telecom sort out Orcon's routing problems. Orcon says it's Telecom, sending their traffic the long way to sites, through proxy server bottlenecks ... Telecom say it's Orcon not setting their system up right.

I am waiting till they sort it out - I don't care who is the culprit - I am paying for 256K and was getting less than 128 :(

241540 2004-06-04 06:24:00 You have a trojan BrucieBear.

The www at the front and the com at the end is a trojan that a friend of mine had. Best you get Spybot and Adaware running on your computer as that is all I did with my friends to fix.

I know IE is a pretty poor excuse for a browser, but I wouldn't say it's a trojan.

It's a standard feature used across most browsers.

241542 2004-06-04 06:34:00 I found what I was referring to - if you hold CTRL and press enter after typing in an address sans www or com it will add it.

Or you have the mystery "person pressing the ctrl button when you aren't looking" trojan

241544 2004-06-04 07:29:00 Problem may be solved now --- I was informed that it has been "fixed"... certainly seems better back on Orcon now, lets hope it lasts
