Hi,

I think this falls into the category of technical ;-)

We have recently got a Wired Country connection with ICONZ - 2MB flat rate account ($160 a month)

Among othe things we are running an internal knowledgebase web application, and Microsoft Outlook Web Access. Whenever either of these do a non-trivial POST of data the browser just hangs. Typically this will be a form on a web page where you have TEXTAREA and INPUT tags - such as composing an email message in Outlook Web Access. I have only tested this behaviour with IE, but if it doesn't work in IE then it's no go - and before you ask I do use FireFox as my default browser.

We have both the Wired Country connection and a full rate Xtra JetStream account here in Auckland - both with static IPs. Connected to the Wired Country connection is a D-Link router which in turn has NAT through to our SSL web server.

This is how it pans out

- Laptop connected to the WAN side of D-Link everything works
- Connecting from our JetStream connection it fails
- Connecting from home Maxnet JetStarter it WORKS
- Dialup to Xtra it WORKS
- JetStream full rate in Wellington it fails
- Unknown connection type in Sydney it fails
- Unknown connection type in Melbourne it fails

So it seems rather strange that it works only on some types of connections. Anyone seem anything vaguely like this or got any ideas.

Cheers

Yours Tony P
