Dell D600 Sierra 595U working BUT issues

Running the Sierra USB card which is all installed fine without drivber issues, etc. Fully patched Windows XP SP2, IE 7. Card working in Virginia with good coverage.

Browsing most websites is fine and the performance is impressive!

Certain sites lead to the browser not responding/sites not being available. This is reproduceable and is related to the Sprint connection only. Running the same sites on the Ethernet card or wireless presents no issues whatsoever.

Example:

Go to ebay.com and select say the Cars section.
From the selection tool on the lefthand side select Porche and then 930 and click the button to submit the search.
There will be a long delay and the site will time out and fail.

Try again and click Porche and then click the HYPERLINK for the 930 below (which displays what would be the same result set) and the page loads instantly.

This is one example of the problem, it seems drilling down in sites or something with form submission is getting messed up ONLY on the Sprint connection.

Has anyone else seen anything like this?

I would appreciate any advice, are there proxy servers to be changed/removed or anything like that affecting web browsing?

Regards

Chris

I don't know if this helps or not,recently I worked on a Dell laptop w/595u experienceing connection problems,not being able to connect or after a while it was dropped.I ended up using a duel usb connector to connect the card,it seems this card is one of the few that has an internal battery,one single usb doesn't provide enough amperage to run the card and charge the battery.These cables are available form the phone store or online,just goggle duel usb power cable.After I installed this cable he has no connection problems at all. I think jim in va. ( login name here discuses it in more detail)
