I have experienced that home problem. 100% caused by TMNet's Streamyx poor and lousy quality. You need to reboot your modem a few times and the problem will fix itself. Don't bother to ask the Streamyx hotline la.....

Starbucks wan.... cannot comment becuase dun have the privilege to lim kopi and surf at the same time :(:crying:

and u're saying that the notebook's IE works 10% at home at certain sites oni? or on all sites... it could be the DNS routing not done properly

yahoo and skype connect thru other ports, but i am not sure whether connecting to different ports could be the problem

[justin hong]

KK, check the firewall settings.

[kamkuey]

firewall off...

[Dino]

I am not sure of the settings, but have you tried using a cable to connect and see if it works at home?

Connect to cable. Everything works fine.

[Alkapocino]

Connect to cable. Everything works fine.

Ai say man...just format the whole hard disk and install the new OS. Sure kau tim one! I guarantee. :D

[Dino]

Connect to cable. Everything works fine.

Since i never deal with TMNet broadband before, i would say that the router may be a problem.

[Dino]

One solution, go change the channels on the router to a different one.
There's only 11 channels, go thru all of them and see how that works.
