[QUOTE="MacInWin, post: 1936718, member: 396914"] Take a look at her DNS settings. System Settings/Network, click on the WiFi, then on the network she is connected to, and then Details. Look at what's under DNS. If there are no entries, her system is dependent on the ISP to provide DNS service (decode the "name" of the website to the "numbers" of the website for navigation to it. Some good DNS services are 1.1.1.1, 8.8.8.8 and 9.9.9.9. The first one is from Cloudflarre, the others are, I think, Google DNS servers. To add them, click on the "+" below the DNS Servers box and then type them in. EDIT: Correction, 1.1.1.1 is CloudFlare, 8.8.8.8 is Google DNS, and 9.9.9.9 is Quad9 DNS server. [/QUOTE]
