Hi All, |
2 |
|
3 |
I find myself in Geneva for the weekend, where I am using a WiFi connection. |
4 |
The ISP is bluewin.ch and the speed is quite low. On average I have seen max |
5 |
download speeds of 448Kbps, while a stream download from e.g. apple trailers |
6 |
soon settles down to around 93kbps. |
7 |
|
8 |
Trying to emerge fails to establish an rsync connection. |
9 |
|
10 |
Trying to stream internet radio fails every time and as if this wasn't bad I |
11 |
cannot connect to www.britishairways.com to book online for my return flight! |
12 |
|
13 |
My friends WinXP does not seem to have such problems. He can connect to |
14 |
www.britishairways.com and this has confused me and perplexed me a lot. |
15 |
What's with his Windoze machine that allows him to connect to websites that I |
16 |
cannot? |

55 |
Is BA, internet radio streams, and other select sites, block traffic from |
56 |
Switzerland? Why's my friend's WinXP machine getting through to the BA site? |
57 |
Is he sending out special html headers that allow him through and my Gentoo |
58 |
machine is not? How do I troubleshoot this one? |
