    Problems with certain webpages

    This is my first posting so please be gentle. I have a computer that is approaching a year old and have installed the 64bit version of Suse 11.2. Prior to that I used an older 32 bit version on a previous machine. This all worked merrily until a couple of months ago when I noticed that certain web pages failed to load. I noticed this when trying to book ferries to France so I was wondering whether it was anything to do with the sending / receiving info embedded on the pages as they failed to load after you had selected the preferred journey time / date. I also wondered whether it was anything to do with flash... Web pages that work include:

    BBC
    YouTube
    Gmail / Google applications
    Wiggle.co.uk
    P&OFerries
    SeaFrance


    These ones don't:
    Flybe (after selecting routes)
    EasyJet (after selecting routes)
    thetrainline (after selecting routes)
    Brittany Ferries (after selecting routes)
    Eurostar (after entering dates)
    Orange (to send free text)
    LD lines (after entering dates)
    Condor Ferries (after entering dates)
    Ebay
    Freecycle / Yahoo


    I use a wired router to connect to the internet. My wife uses the same router to connect her Windows Vista laptop and this works fine on all websites.

    Any ideas? Would be happy for any sort of advice but please take us through it slowly!!!

    Apologies if this sort of thing has been posted before - we did do a search!

    Thanks in advance

    Until I did a dist-upgrade that resulted in Firefox 3.6.12 and Adobe Flash 10 (or whatever the latest is!) being installed, I had a similar problem with an interactive site I had to use. Now all is fine, so far.

    Also, with some distros, google Chrome seems to run better and function very well. Your choice!

    (Sorry -- I don't know SUSE or how to do an equivalent to a dist-upgrade with it.)

    Best wishes!
