I hope I can get some help with this.
I have a new laptop with Win 7, IE8, latest Flash Player, etc. ALL of what I am about to describe WORKS with the same laptop and my PREVIOUS ISP with a wired ethernet connection to an AZIO router connected to a wireless ant on the roof.
When I switched ISPs I got a new 3.0 Mbps DSL connection thru a 2Wire wireless router/modem on my phone line, all this fails running a wireless connection or wired on the 2Wire h/w.
1)YouTube or embedded videos will stop at random places, not a buffering and restarting slowness issue. If I hit the browser refersh it wil reload and stop at a random spot. If I SWITCH internet connections back to my old ISP the same things happens EXCEPT if I start a NEW browse session, then videos will run, perhaps buffering along the way BUT only with my old ISP connection. I cannot start a new tab in the original browser session and get a video to run with either ISP connection. Once a video stops in a broswer session with my NEW ISP, that browser sssion will not run a video.
2)With my NEW ISP, File downloads for MS or other updates will stall and if I hit the Browser refresh it will almost always complete. No such problem with my old ISP.
3)Loading a webpage will sometimes stop 'midway' but if I hit the browser refresh, it will compete, almost instantly as if it thinks it's waiting for the 'signal to procede'.
4)I believe this next one is a server or Inetrnet laoding issue but will throw this in. Running Windows Live mail retrieving large 2+MB e-mails will almost always cause the downlaod to fail with timeouts or server unexpectedly dropped the conneciton, etc. Works on my old ISP.
......Keep in mind, ALL this works normally with my old ISP and router. This seems to leave an interaction between my laptop's ethernet interface and the 2Wire router where some piece of s/w is getting confused/ getting lost in the handshaking or ???????
