Hi everyone, this is my first post and I hope it's in the right place. I subscribed to Wildblue 512 internet service a little over a week ago. Unfortunately, satellite service is all I can get here. I am not at all unhappy with the overall speed; it sure beats the heck out of dial up, but during certain times of the day, mostly afternoon and evening, about every other time I try to load a web page or post a reply, I either get no response or the page will partially load then stop. Sometimes I can hit the stop button, then reload and it will continue to load, but other times I may have to shut down the browser.
I am running Win XP home on a Athalon 2000 system w/ 1GB mem.
I use Firefox 2.0.0.1 browser with and without the wildblue automatic proxy config URL.
I use a D-link DI-512 router and have tried bypassing it or using LAN or wireless.
I have reset windows defaults for TCP/IP, tried Cablenut optimizer with the stock satellite settings and the VanBuren settings.
I have cleared my cache, cookies, history etc, many times. I have reset the modem many times.
When the setup works, it works great, but then when it starts this freezing up, it sure takes the fun out of the internet.. I did a search here and did not see anything for this topic, so I hope this post is not out of line.
I hope this is something you all have heard of and can help with a solution.
Thanks and Happy New Year
Chris
