I could go over and help him set up his iphone as a hotspot.

His data plan may charge extra for that. 

Is he having problems on any other sites?  Something may have triggered Hughesnet firewall to block OA web for some reason if others that use Hughesnet are having same problem with OA.  Hughesnet tech support should come up with an answer for him if he has the time to deal with their support net.

I was using a hospitals public wifi the other day and all emails on my web based email that had guns were blocked.  One of the filters they set up thru their admin.  Its a stretch, but when you did a switch, it may have triggered something on Hughesnet.  Especially if others have the same problem.  If I read his problem right, not a  browser or os problem if he uses phone carrier network and it works.  Something related directly to Hughesnet network is going on.

         Hughesnet  is what I have to use here in the boonies of BilletHeadVille and so far no problem for me. Just some FYI but as JD said contact them. Anytime I have had issues with stuff that generally is my fault they have fixed me up,

But he stated others that use Hughesnet in area having same issue, that would rule out his personal router.

He could send a report to another members email and have them post if he wants while he is trying to figure it out

When do you go back to hitting balls in the woods, weeds and water?:)

Palm Springs 9 February baby!

But not nearly soon enough to answer your question!

I think that's why I love fishing and golf - woods, weeds and water are such integral aspects of both!
