I got my new BT Dongle nearly 2 weeks ago, and though it was a pain to get working near home, it does work nicely away from home (:thinking:). Anyway, there is one annoying problem, and I have no idea how to sort it. I can't view images or get onto the likes of Flickr :shrug: I get a BT Error 404 page come up that says that page doesn't exist.

I spent nearly 7 hours on the phone on and off to BT on Wednesday to try and sort it. But every single person I spoke to didn't know that BT were even doing a Dongle, and some didn't even know what one was. I tried just about every department, and even went to the sales team that sold be the bloody thing. No one could help. I got advise to clear my cache, but that's about it. I have done that a few times now and I am still getting the same problem.

Can anyone help? Only I am in the Lakes at the moment, and on an evening when we get back to the tent I want something to keep me occupied while I try and wind down enough to be sleepy. :lol:

This sounds like it might be a problem with the MTU setting. What OS are you using?
 
What's an MTU setting and an OS? :lol: :$
 
OS is operating system, IE Windows XP or Vista or Mac OS etc
 
Well doh! I knew that :lol:

I'm using Vista.
 
If you can get on other websites but not flickr then it sounds like a BT DNS problem (ish)


Try m.flickr.com , it's the flickr site designed for mobile/3G users
 
As soon as I have the patients to use the blumin' thing again I'll get back to you about the MTU thing Pxl8, and I'll try that too mrgrubby!

Thanks xxx
