Just moved into office space and the IT guy is remote and I'm sure he thinks I'm having him on but am having a problem with a new connection he's installed here (so bear with me please as I don't have many other specific details about the broadband connection as I am not responsible for it).
It's a dedicated line, I have two Macbooks and two PC laptops running into wall points.
Mostly it works fine, but ebay.co.uk (for instance) never connects from anyone's machine. I cannot login to Windows Live/Xbox.com (page will load but login/submit will time out). Online banking sites will fail while authenticating. A few shopping carts on online retailers also fail. Google apps (Drive, Calendar) work, but in patches - sometimes they fail completely. Yahoo's billing website is another that struggles.
This is not an exhaustive list but merely what I've picked up in a week of using it. I can get around most of it, but stuff like Google/Windows Live could be crucial to business.
Is this behaviour familiar to anyone?
The IT guy ran DNS lookups (I think they were) through a CMD line and they connected to ebay.co.uk fine, but he couldn't launch the site in a browser.
I have an ethernet switch and a wifi router (the latter only for wireless printing purposes) but even with these unplugged, the internet behaviour is the same.
Help!
