Has anyone else experienced trouble with accessing certain sites over a wireless connection?
I have just set up a wireless router (2Wire 1710HG), connect and can acess most sites (both http and https) at a good speed, I can browse most of ebay no problem but when I try to sign the browser times out. Similar with yahoo mail, I can login no problems but when I try to open a mail the browser times out every time!?
I can acess the above site using a usb dsl modem, so there doesn't seem to be a problem with the ISP, laptop, or browser settings. I have installed both IE and Firefox, both result in the above.
Laptop is acer running win xp home.
Thanks.

That's pretty weird. If those sites work normally without WiFi, the only thing I can think of is if the 1710HG offers some kind of internal caching or proxying. Turn off any such features, or look for firmware updates.
I just checked my Yahoo account, and messages are just standard http links, so nothing strange there. I tried disabling Javascript and saw Yahoo's mention of their "old style" email interface. It's a shot in the dark, but might that work any better?
I once had a similar problem. Try to find information about the proper way to set up your router with the modem. If the modem is also modem/router you can run into double network address translation problems. If I remember correctly, I needed to either have the DHCP in the modem or the one in the router supply IP addresses .. not both.
wireless connection with ebay/yahoo etc.
