536502 2007-03-28 11:54:00 Firstly, sorry about my user name, all the normal ones were taken.

My sister got a new comp recently and we had the internet dude come over and set up the net on it. It's wireless. Thing is, she can only browse pages. It won't let her download anything or access MSN. It says to enter proxy settings documentation. :help:

Not to worry about your user name

Do you know who the wireless ISP is? Is it Woosh?

536507 2007-03-28 21:07:00 Nope . lol I'm in Poland

Let me guess . . . . broadband in :) Poland is waaaaaay better than here in New :( Zealand .

As for your question, why doesn't your sister ring the help desk of her ISP?
Since we do not know what ISP, router, OS, pc specs, or even what country your sister is in, it is difficult to provide a helpful answer .

536509 2007-03-29 04:08:00 From the communist era Poland inherited an underdeveloped and outmoded system of telephones, with some areas (e.g. in the extreme South East) being served by manual exchanges. In December 2005 the last analog exchange was shut down. All telephone lines are now served by modern fully computerised exchanges (Siemens EWSD, Alcatel S12, Lucent 5ESS, Alcatel E10). The former state owned telephone monopoly (TPSA) has been mostly privatised, with France Telecom buying the largest share. Various other companies have entered the fixed phone market, but generally aiming for niches (e.g. Sferia with fixed wireless, Netia covering primarily business). Whilst prices have reduced and availability has increased considerably since the introduction of competition, there is little sign of TPSA's market share being seriously reduced.
