ISSUE SOLVED - SEE POST http://mybroadband.co.za/vb/showthr...ution-anyone?p=5029449&viewfull=1#post5029449
PLEASE READ POST #10 FOR THE LATEST SUMMARY OF THE ISSUE
Hi there,
We are using the new 2GB package with a Huawei E1752 modem.
First we came across the following problem:
While most of the Internet and email works perfectly fine, certain websites just never load (e.g. http://fabrikar.com/). We are using the modem in a location where we are roaming on the Vodacom network. The strange thing is that this problem only arises when we have the Cell C SIM card in the modem. When we have a Vodacom SIM card inserted (it also works in your modem), then the websites load without problem. Meanwhile they are using the same Vodacom network/tower. This is certainly very confusing.
We first found the following partial solution:
It seems it is necessary to set the computer up to use the Cell C proxy server (196.31.116.250 on port 8080) e.g. in Windows Vista: Control Panel->Internet Options->Connections. Select Cell C and press the settings button. Tick both check boxes and enter the proxy information.
NOW, some website, even http://mybroadband.co.za/news/ and Google search results load mostly, but never finish loading. We checked what exactly happens using Firebug and it seems all the associated files load completely, but the actual html never finishes. You can e.g. load a page that is supposed to have 50 table rows, but only 45 load and then there is a grey box. With a Vodacom SIM it loads completely. Looks to us like there is some sort of wrong set-up on their servers. At some point we even got a proxy server error:
This was at least fixed after disconnecting and reconnecting.
Anyone any ideas? This unfortunately makes things a bit unreliable and tedious. If it can't be fixed we would have to go back to Vodacom.
