Tech problem: internet connection to LinkedIn on Ubuntu from Coffeeshop.
I have a Ubuntu (EeePC, Easy Peasy) laptop. I can connect to every LinkedIn
page in my account when I am at home on my home wireless.
There is a coffeeshop where I go regularly for tech meetings. All the other
members use Windows laptops. I CAN connect fine to EVERY www site I have
tried on the internet except LinkedIn. I can get to the first page of my
account, but any link I click inside LinkedIn (like my Inbox, or Profile)
will just keep trying to access and never get there. The members with
Windows laptops aren't having this problem. I can't accept or send
invitations to "join my network" from the coffeeshop.
I have tried Chrome and Firefox. In each I have tried emptying my internet
cache and my cookies. I have tried changing the MTU to 1000, 1200, 1360, in
/etc/network/interfaces (and restarting my network services, finally
thinking there must be something I missed, restarting my laptop) because
this is what I found recommended online. I have tried installing nscd and
flushing my dns.
I am totally baffled as to why my follow members who have Windows laptops
can access LinkedIn from this coffeeshop and I cannot. Any ideas?
TIA,
Meryll
