I have recently installed a wireless network and now I am not able to access Yahoo mail. Anytime I try to view my mail, I get an error saying that page contains no data. But I can get the mail through a seperate mail service. I am able to access other sites such as gmail, and hotmail, but I get this error with yahoo mail.

Using Belkin router and Wireless card, both are 802.11b.
with Verizon DSL.

Thanks for you help.

Once before I was having strange spurious errors when I first set up Internet Connection Sharing, it seemed that my MTU setting and my ISP weren't getting along. My MTU (Max transmission unit) was too large which was getting my packets to get fragmented under certain conditions - the net effect was random sites not working.

I'd suggest going to dslreports.com or a similar site that can test your MTU setting and provide you with tweaking tools to adjust it. MTU is a TCP/IP setting stored in the Windows registry (there is no direct access to it.) It's not hard to change and may be the cause of your problems.
