I upgraded from the DW4000 to the HN 7000S. I was told the DW4000 would soon be obsolete and my download weren't much better than dial up. So, now I've shelled out over $500.00 for the "best". My download speed are usually around 550, sometimes better, sometimes worse. The main problem I'm having is "page cannot be displayed" on many websites. The tech service guy, that I could barely understand had me change the proxy settings, this seemed to work at the time, but I'm still having problems. The installer said it was probably the ethernet card in my computer, so another $114.00 later, he installed it and I still have the same problems. So, now he says it's probably the site's security and to get in touch with them. It happens that most of the sites are credit cards, car insurance, hughesnet and DirecWay.
I read the post from pyronut and didn't see that the problem was resolved. I have emptied my cache, defragged and checked for spyware. All clean.
Any suggestions? I hate paying for something I'm not getting.
On my computer at work I did a speedtest and got 43066 Kbps, it's DSL. I would like to get DSL, but I live in the boonies. My installer told me DSL wouldn't be any faster. I find that hard to believe.

I'm not well versed in this subject. I did get a whole new system and new dish, they said I had to have a new dish. My signal strength is 86. My receive frequency is 1086 MHz. I don't know what satellite it's pointed to, all I see is 93 West.

No, I don't see the red x's or page half loaded. The pages don't load at all.

vbroadway...welcome to the site.....and if you could ....when a page fails to load .....would you look at the address bar at the top of your browser and see if it's a secure site that is failing...would start with https:........instead of just http:...

When the installer came,he had me uninstall everything that had to do with the DW4000. I thought I did, but what proxy settings do I need to remove?

First off vbroadway I would like to tell you your installer bold faced lied to you. Are you still in your 30 days from original install? You can still back out if you wish. You could used all but hte modem to redo for $59.95.

And that said, DSL 1.5 blows DWay out of the water. Almost anything except dial-up does.    After that line he should have to change his shorts. Because he is full of something.

So you did try restarting the modem?
