Good day all,

I wonder whether anyone can help with this issue.

For the past two days, i'm able to view Google ads (on my sites and others) when i'm connected to the internet via 3G, but not when i'm connected via Wi-Fi (Telkom adsl).

I'm sure i'm missing something obvious.

Any words of wisdom?

:wtf:

Jut throwing this out there, but the Wifi - does it have a different DNS assigned to the 3G ?

I have OpenDNS programmed to block adverts on my one Wifi AP to achieve this same effect..

Thanks for the feedback so far.

I'm not very clued up on the technical side of things.

Here is my overview:

1. Four computers are connected to my network - one is plugged in via network cable and the other three operate via wi-fi.
2. All computers "see" Google ads when connected to internet via 3G.
3. None "saw" the Google ads when connected via the adsl network.
4. I've now disconnected my new D-Link router and connected the old one.
5. Since I have done this, the computer plugged in via network cable can see the Google ads - but not the other three which are connected via wi-fi.
6. The three ad-blind computers can see Google ads when using a Google search box.
7. There are now simply white spaces where the ads were.
8. On some sites, there are grey boxes with a question mark where the ads were.
9. I experience exactly the same when I connect via Samsung S4 cellphone and iPad.

Hope this tells someone something.

:confused:
