I know just about enough about computers to be extremely dangerous…. I will appreciate any help here….
The situation is:…. I recently got a new laptop with Windows 7…… (and I also have a desktop computer).
My modem is with Atlantic using a Vodacom card, which worked perfectly whilst I stayed In Thabazimbi, but I’ve subsequently moved to Amandelbult, where the Vodacom signal is intermittent and poor at the best of times.
I found, however…. That if I insert my MTN card into the Atlantic modem…. It works perfectly and that is how I’ve accessed Internet up to about 3 days ago.
Since the laptop came with no programmes installed, I purchased Microsoft Office (professional) 2010 and had someone at work install it for me.
When I got back home…. I could access all my “favourites” as usual, except one…. (at first I thought that the forum bombed out and was under reconstruction)…
I kept on trying to no avail for about 3 days, so I contacted a friend (who is also a member on that forum ) and asked her if she had access…. And she could, so I assumed the problem was with my laptop, so….. I tried my desktop and could also not access.
I did a lot of troubleshooting and it all pointed out that that forum is fine, but not responding …… So, in desperation… I swapped my sim cards and put the Vodacom in, and Whalah!!!... I found that forum again….
Now, my question is why would my system no longer work for one specific forum (only) when I use my MTN card in the modem…. It used to work for me in the past??? The card that works for that site is not worth using, as the poor signal bombs it out about every minute.
