Google Mail - delete won't take over wireless network

Tony D'Ambrosio · 06-21-2009, 01:35 PM

Wireless network; up to 4 computers any one time; all on XP; router connects with all IP addresses static; router works fine; Internet is dialup, over one of computers with all others connected via a proxy program (AnalogX) running on the single desktop that's used to dial up on; the ISP is AOL.

I use Mozilla/Firefox for browsing 99% of the time; just occasionally use AOL's internal MSIE browser ... so that's not a factor.

What doesn't work? quite a few things, all involved with links. Best example is Google's gmail. Messages show up fine. Delete won't take. Except, sometimes when I close Gmail, and later bring it up again, the delete WILL have taken ... but it never takes when I ask it to. If I just wait forever, a weird batch of numbers and letters shows at the address I've landed on, the status bar on the browser says "DONE", and there's nothing on the screen.

I'm guessing if we solve the Gmail problem it'll be the same for all the other problems on other sites where the initial screen is fine, but subsequent ones don't work. I checked today and saw that Java requires proxy information, so I did that; but apparently not the problem as there was no change in the Gmail problem.

Thanks for any suggestions,

Tony
