I have an odd problem with Internet Explorer 7. When I use my BlackBerry as a modem form my netbook, two sites have problems.

[Digg.com](http://Digg.com) – Page not found

SDMB (natch) – Only the first ten threads in any forum will show up. After the 10th thread title is displayed, the next thread title is the html -  
\<a href=”showthread.php?t=5323 - Missing the end quote and closing tag.

All other VBulletin sites seem to work fine. My netbook is running XP

I can access these sites fine from just the phone itself. Just not when my netbook uses the phone as a modem.

Everything else looks good. Any ideas?

You’ve confirmed that this only happens in IE7, and not any other browsers using the same bberry tether?

Theres something wrong with using your BB as a modem. Looks like you are getting corrupt packets and DNS errors. Its not IE7 at fault here.

I think you are both right. I get the same problems with FireFox. Thanks for the responses.

Unless anyone else has a suggestion, this can be closed.
