I tried using this using Deleted Cache and in some cases, turning off images. When it works, it is awesome. Sometimes, however, I will go to a page and it will freeze up the NZ..then, I have to do a soft reset and when I go to connect to the network again, it doesn't work. Instead, I have to restart my desktop computer and then it works again. Could there be a problem with my wife connection on my desktop? Also, I tried to log into my bank of america account and it won't let me do it. Instead, it posts a page with a "lock" symbol on the upper right hand corner. Any suggestions would help. By the way, has anybody tried there NX using Sprint Vision, the serial connector, and the LG phone? How does it work?

Whoa, lots of questions! :-)

There are alternative browsers you can try if you are dissatisfied with NetFront ("NF"). I do not think there is much you can do to tweak NF itself. Since sites are not geared towards anything but fat 4.0+ browsers on a PC (it seems) these days, I would be happy with what I can get via such a "non-standard" device.

I find I soft-reset my NX when there is a DNS problem trying to reach a site... the site will just hang and wait for things to time out. Of course my patience runs out before that happens.

What does your desktop possibly have to do with your ability to surf wirelessly? What is the relationship between your PC and your wireless access point/router? ie. does your PC have a wireless card and acts as your WiFi gateway or something?

What is your "wife's connection on the desktop" referring to exactly? Does she have another computer that is on your network or something? If so check how you are assigning addresses, perhaps if you have static addresses assigned, she is using the same one (?) or your DHCP server is screwed up or something.

I don't know about Bank of America specifically but some sites will just NOT work. Ebay is one... you can't do anything useful there. I suspect the site is just not going to work with NF... try another browser? Maybe someone else here is a Bank of America customer. Anyone?

BTW the page "lock" icon, means that the connection is SSL-encrypted... (basically you can consider if "secure" for as much as that means online)

No idea about your last questions.
