Problem with websites

Asked by Newbie

sorry if this was solved already. I really tried to find a solution before doing this.

Travel websites: I can't select any dates, and sometimes they can't find the airport either.
News websites: I can't select the topics using the arrows < > or tabs. Videos run sometimes.
Java version 1.7.0.76 was tested and runs just fine in Firefox Ubuntu 14.04. 64 bit. No blockers run

 I just triedChromium simply to ensure I am not missing anything and I had thesame problems I have with Firefox.
Additionally I havethe exact problems under Oracle VM Victual Box with a full licensedsoftware of W7 64 bit and Internet Explorer. Is there anything I needto change/install on Ubuntu to solve this problem.

Those websites workif I use my smart phone via router.
thank you for all the help!

If you have similar problems accessing web pages with different browsers and different operating systems, then there is a high chance that your problem is caused by your network connection, and not by the software.

You have not told us the names of the web sites that do not work, nor have you explained what there is happening (or not happening) if you try accessing them.

Again, your router is nothing more than a very specialised PC. It has a low power CPU and RAM just like the thing you are looking at now. Rebooting them from time to time is good (especially home grade routers)

Please mark as solved if the issue is as such
