somebody else's ubuntu machine. Yours for example?

Both sites work fine in general on other ubuntu machines. I've used both the sites on 7.10, 8.04 & 8.10, all on triband connections. So it isn't any generic ubuntu/mtnl issue.

I only have intermittent remote desktop access to the machine - so I have to be careful not to make any mistake that completely borks the networking. :-)

Just for kicks, try another browser like Konquerar or Opera.

I have already tried 4 browsers. All have the same problem.
