webmail on my second computer

Having problems accessing webmail on my second computer on a certain single
site.

I have a MS Wireless Base Station-- with a Wireless USB adaptor on the
second computer. The second computer has MS 98 on it. I use IE as the
browser software. The internet connection is cable.

I can successfully logon to this certain website which is a secure site. It
is set up it as a Trusted Site in Internet Explorer settings.

The problem is that after I have logged on sucessfully to this certain site,
and click the tab to get email, it takes 3 to 5 attempts before it
sucessfully goes to the email screen (and very slowly-minutes not seconds).
Sometimes it says "processing" or "waiting", and sometimes a "The page
cannot be displayed" notice comes up.

My main computer has XP Home on it and I can successfully get webmail onto
the above-mentioned site that I am having trouble with every time on the
first try.

I've read that you cannot adjust MTU and RWIN settings unless you are on
dial-up, that it is all automatic with a broadband connection. I do not know
whether this is correct.

Is there anything I can do in the Base Station Managment tool settings or in
the Registry of the computer to have it work properly?

Thanks for your help!

I would suggest it is an issue with your browser on that computer, not
networking. Try clearing the cache completely.

Hi Chris

I cleaned the cache through IE, and it doesn't seem to improve things. Is
there somewhere else that I should be deleting cache?
Thanks,T

You could physically go to Windows Explorer, expand the C:\ drive and
navigate to C:\Documents and Settings\{YourUserName}\Local
Settings\Temporary Internet Files and manually delete the files accumulated
there. You might also want to nose around Microsoft MVP Sandi Hardmeier's
web site on Internet Explorer: http://www.mvps.org/inetexplorer/ I
honestly don't know IE all that well, but she's got a wealth of information
there.
