HP G61 laptop. Win7HPx64
Basic issue is a connectivity problem with WindowsSecrets.com.
Once a week I get an email notification that there is a new newsletter
at Windows Secrets, with a link to that newsletter (email client is
Thunderbird - latest version). This has worked ok for several years. A
few months ago I found that clicking on the link opened my default
browser (Firefox - latest version), but the Windows Secrets page was
extremely slow to load, and only appeared as text.
Disabling NoScript and running FF in safe mode made no difference. I
copied the link into Opera and IE9 (latest versions) but they too
failed to open the page - Opera not at all, IE9 only succeeding after
several minutes. I temporarily disabled the Norton Internet Security
firewall, but that made no difference. Today I just tried a Tablet
running Android Jelly Bean, and that connected through the same wifi
router/modem and ISP as the laptop without any problem.
When IE9 failed, it offered to run a connection problem diagnosis. It
found a couple of things, although they aren't (to me) particularly helpful:
"Issues found:
Your computer appears to be correctly configured, but the device or
resource (windowssecrets.com) is not responding.
Problem with wireless adapter or access point. Detected
Reset the wireless adapter. Completed."
There was a also a reference to a *.etl file, but I can't open those,
and doubt it would help if I could.
But the problem still persists. This is the only link/webpage I have any
problem with. Any ideas?
