i am using slackware 10.1, i have a netgear wg111 usb card, and i use ndiswrapper....

everything works fine until i try to go to certain websites....then the internet stops, and i have to restart it manually....then it works fine until i try to visit that website again and the it loses connection again....i don't know what the problem is....please help

What's the site and is it possible your wireless providor (if it's say a school or your household router) has it blocked ?

well, it happens at a few sites...and they work on all my other computers...i have a computer with fedora core 3 and also one with windows xp......and it works on both of those, just not on my computer with slackware (which is my primary computer)....here is one site that it happens with:

http://www.mtv.com/music/live/perfor...tentid=1493570

i'm not sure what's on the site, but my friend sent me the link and told me to listen to a song on it

since the sites work on my other computers, i don't think it is a router problem...unless i need to forward ports or something to this computer...????? i don't really know all that much about slackware, is there some sort of firewall on slackware that i need to change some settings on?? i am using firefox just in case that's important in helping me....

thanks in advance for any help.....

Weird, I'm using Slackware and Firefox too but the page loads just fine for me (it doesn't appear to have any plugins either).

What version of firefox do you have?

When your internet connection dies, can you still use other services like streaming radio or ssh or ftp, etc?

There's a ton of Flash on that page. Do you have the Flash plugin installed in your browser?

ok, that mtv website works, but when i try to listen to one of the songs i lose connection to the internet....none of the internet works. gaim stops working, gmail notifier stops working, etc...

on a side note, does anybody even know if john legend is any good? i really doubt he is, because my friend that wants me to listen to it doesn't have the best taste in music..ha...

i don't really know much about internet connections, but does anybody know if i have to set up the proxy? i'm not even sure what that is....another website that i can't go to is http://econnect.dcccd.com

the weird thing with that site is that it loads partially and then my internet connection stops....i know it can't just be a coincidence that everytime i try to go to it my internet stops........any help would be appreciated.....and thanks for the help i've already gotten.....

when i go to most college/university websites, it loads the first page, and then the internet stops working.

does anybody have any idea of how i could fix it? is it a problem with ndiswrapper?
