Thread: HTTPS Hotmail,Facebook,Gmail login solved.

hello first , helpful post.

have struggled on year trying ubuntu log hotmail, facebook, ebay, gmail accounts etc, through web browser, while connecting via wireless network. connections these freezing , not able complete connection,and so, not enabling them log in, regardless of browser using. continue until time out error shown.

after constant reading , searching have found permanent solution me, accounts log in in seconds, , no more time outs. reading on 3uk mobile network support docs , noticed mentioned possibility of mtu settings being high in connection settings, , causing possible connection problems. tried , has worked.

onto did.

apparently default set allot of time high in network settings.

recommended mtu settings starting @ 1300 , working way lower until successful connection achieved

in ubuntu (note * current ubuntu 11.10 same issue occured in versions installed) have network connections icon @ top right of ubuntu screen, click go down edit connections.

select wireless connections. @ bottom mtu. set automatic. changed setting first 1 recommended isp. mtu 1300

did. saved available users. rebooted laptop. opened browser ( default ubuntu 11.10 firefox) , hey presto, solved.

seem time 1 1/2 yrs, ive been struggling this, had reduce mtu solve issue.

believe me have tried ese, firewalls etc , nothing else solved problem. im not highly technical , not understand implications of why has worked has. here post tell of solution issue.

start @ 1300 , work way down until connection, lowering mtu seems have made general browsing smoother experience too, pages loading little faster.

ok thats it. have go , see if resolves issue if having same problems did.

first post, , hope been helpful one. no doubt post again if have positive contribution make in future.

take care all.
