cant access some websites with n900
 

Im having trouble accessing some websites using my n900, i am using my home network as a connection.
Wondered if anyone else is having similar problems and if there is a easy way to resolve it?
Some sites i cant access; ovi store, maemo select, online banking to name but a few!
thanks in advance

Re: cant access some websites with n900
 

...well - maybe you were just not patient enough.
It happens to me also that the browser stays “white” for a couple of seconds (up 15). And suddenly the page is there. I think there is another thread about this phenomenon already. Somehow the MicroB browser suddenly eats up CPU.

Re: cant access some websites with n900
 

I can certainly access the ovi store & maemo select without any issue. I take it that you can actually reach some sites okay?

Re: cant access some websites with n900
 

lol yes some times i am not patient especialy when waiting for mobile phones direct to send me my n900!!
Im afraid this isnt the case i let the page try to load for about 5 mins some times but still nothing.
It may have somethimg to do with my router settings but i am not sure.

Re: cant access some websites with n900
 

yes rob1n i can access some sites with no problem.
it would me nice to access some maemo sites seeing that i have the n900 and want to get some apps!!
thanks for your response.

Re: cant access some websites with n900
 

Very odd - I was thinking firewall/routing issues but those are very unlikely to only affect some sites. Can you access the sites okay from other PCs on the network?

Re: cant access some websites with n900
 

Yes Rob1n other pc's on the network work fine, i had a look at router settings but not too sure on what im doing!!
is quite annoying not being able to access some sites.

Re: cant access some websites with n900
 

Have you tried with both browsers

MicroB / Firefox beta (Fennec)?

Re: cant access some websites with n900
 

You could try pinging the sites from the N900. Unfortunately there's no traceroute module on there (which would be more usefule), but you could do traceroute from a PC, then try pinging all the steps from the N900 to see which one stops responding.

Re: cant access some websites with n900
 

This seems to be solved if you flush the browser history

Re: cant access some websites with n900
 

where can i get fennec?

Re: cant access some websites with n900
 

Did you install Adblock?

Re: cant access some websites with n900
 

No adblock not installed mikec.
Any advice is appreciated as i have a "internet Tablet" that cant access half the internet.

Re: cant access some websites with n900
 

did you flush your personal data especially history?

Re: cant access some websites with n900
 

This has not helped, i have just been out and tried it on 3G network and websites work!! so this proofs that it is probably my router.
Im sure there are lots of people on here that know allot about networks wonder if any of them could help?

Re: cant access some websites with n900
 

Now wishing to cast any aspersions, but does your router/ISP include any sort of 'child protection' settings? Might that be interfering?

Re: cant access some websites with n900
 

Hi RevdKathy and thanks for your input.
no child restrictions present all other computers on the network can access any site.

Re: cant access some websites with n900
 

Ahh, ok. Maybe it's just your n900 is a prude, then ;) It was certainly something to rule out.

Wierd if other things wirelessly connected can access the sites, and n900 can if connected over gps but n900 over wifi can't. Most illogical.

Re: cant access some websites with n900
 

This sounds like some sort of Proxy issue. Have you set up any proxy servers in your browser.

Re: cant access some websites with n900
 

It is incredibly illiogical! and very frustrating! But thank you for your input.

From: http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/mobile/

Mozilla already changed the name to Firefox mobile (Fennec was the project name).

Re: cant access some websites with n900
 

The only thing ihave set up is my emails i have only had the phone a day! i currently cant download mozzila mobile.

Re: cant access some websites with n900
 

Go to this link: http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/m/ on your N900 & click "Download".

(It's actually Firefox Mobile Beta) because it's still a project in progress.

Re: cant access some websites with n900
 

Thank you for your response god! (never thought i would say that)
I cant seem to download mozzila for some reason. Says download failed.
wish i could get this sorted.

Re: cant access some websites with n900
 

This seems weird...

So once you click the download link, it just says "download failed"?

What are the EXACT symptoms?

I don't own an N900 myself, so I can't get very specific about it! Sorry.

Re: cant access some websites with n900
 

When i try to download firefox i trys to download then says failed after a couple of minutes.
I cant access some websites, when i try to open a page it will try to load but i just get a white screen.
any help?

Re: cant access some websites with n900
 

It seems like your connection gets interrupted on your device.

Errr...have you tried with a different internet connection? or a 3G?

Re: cant access some websites with n900
 

@Alfa
can you check on your N900 your settings->Internet connections wizard and check that proxys are not set?

Re: cant access some websites with n900
 

I'd recommend against installing fennec for now unless absolutely necessary, fennec/mobile firefox itself is optified (4mb) but the xulrunner dependency (20+ mb) goes in /, and will contribute very quickly to filling the smallest partition on the device.

Re: cant access some websites with n900
 

Ok i seem to have the same problem.
Can't access some websites over wifi with N900 both default browser and firefox.
Particular sites include www.businessweek.com
Other PCs on network access the sites just fine.

Re: cant access some websites with n900
 

Performed some testing and it appears to be some incompatibility with the router, even though the routers firewall is turned off if the device is not set as DMZ many sites become inaccessible.
(Ping returns invalid adress and entering the servers ip results in no answer)
All other devices in the network don't have any problems.

Router is an Arris 54g telephony modem.

Re: cant access some websites with n900
 

No problems with BW here in either Microb or fennec. Came up very quickly - all flash displayed.

Re: cant access some websites with n900
 

Sorry to bump an old thread but im having the exact same problem, only over wifi. no proxies or anything. just cant access some sites, but its fine over gprs. Any ideas?

Re: cant access some websites with n900
 

done some more experimenting, works fine with routers other then my home one. I can load the problem websites fine on everything else through the router. what could it be?

Re: cant access some websites with n900
 

does anyone also have the problem.. with scrolling in Micro B ? that if you scroll down or up.. that it not scrolls down or up smoothly furter ?

is stops scrolling if i release my finger..

Re: cant access some websites with n900
 

this is a different problem, but no i dont

Re: cant access some websites with n900
