Hi cg,
Sounds like this is being caused by your wireless router then.
Try connecting directly with a cable to your broadband modem.
If that works, then we know we need to look at your router.

|||| Hi cg,
||||
|||| I've posted some router / modem advice in response to your other post.
||||
|||| Also ....
||||
|||| Online games are usually developed using Flash, Java, or Virtual Machine.
|||| The most likely solution to a problem with an online game is to install, upgrade,
|||| or reinstall the right one for the game site you're playing on.
||||
|||| A. For Zone.com games: Zone.com are converting most of their games for Flash
|||| to avoid the conflicts between the Sun Java system and Microsoft's Virtual Machine.
|||| Install Flash from:
http://sdc.shockwave.com/shockwave/download/frameset.fhtml
||||
|||| B. Most other game sites still use Java. You can install Java and find more help
|||| tips at this webpage:
http://java.com/en/download/help/pogo.jsp
||||
|||| C. If the online game still won't load, or gives you errors, try these steps:
||||
|||| 1. Click START / Control Panel / Internet Options and click on the Advanced Tab.
||||
|||| 2. Below HTTP 1.1 is the Sun Java/ Microsoft VM section: Make sure all Java choices
|||| are unchecked (especially JIT) and then press [OK]. You may be prompted to reboot.
||||
|||| 3. If you don't see a Microsoft VM section then download Microsoft Virtual Machine for:
|||| Windows 98 / Me / NT / XP from:
http://www.abxair.com/software/msjavx86.exe
||||
|||| 4. After you download Java, double-click the file to install it, reboot and then follow
|||| the directions in Steps 1. and 2..to disable JIT compiler and other advanced options.
||||
|||| * Whenever you get a Java Virtual Machine Security Update from Windows Update, you
|||| will have to follow Steps 1. and 2..to disable JIT compiler and other adv. options again.
||||
|||| 6. If the problem persists Adjust Your browser settings using this basic example:
||||
http://www3.sympatico.ca/nibblesnbits/EnterRooms.html#IE
||||
|||| 7. Try these suggestions for Zone's Java Games:
||||
http://classic.zone.msn.com/zzzz/help/helpjavagames.asp
||||
|||| 8. Maybe it's a software conflict: Make certain that your Firewall or Antivirus program is
|||| not configured to block Java Applets. Norton's products for example have that option.
|||| Regardless, temporarily disable Startup programs one at a time, starting with Firewall,
|||| Antivirus, AdBlockers, & Internet Accelerators using the method in this article:
||||
http://support.microsoft.com/?scid=331796
|||| or this utility:
http://new.jtsoft2001.com/windows/startup.php
||||
|||| 9. If you have a Coffee Cup icon in your system tray (next to the time) you might have a
|||| conflict between MS VM and Java: Uninstall Java using Control Panel / Remove Programs.
||||
|||| 10. Run a MS AntiSpyware Scan:
www.microsoft.com/spyware
||||
|||| 11. Check the Help / Support section of the game site in question for Java topics relevant to
|||| that site. There is usually an email or a (non Java) help chat available as well.
