I recently had Gen4 satellite installed which is wonderful but there are certain things that don't work correctly using the default modem settings. The particular setting that causes problems is "Web Acceleration".
SBuilderX 314 was giving me fits about 5 minutes ago trying to download some google imagery so I tried disabling Web Acceleration and that did the trick. Google imagery loads fine once Web Acceleration is disabled.
So far I've found Web Acceleration also causes problems with mediafire downloads and ASN weather downloads (ASN detects multiple IPs in use and denies access).
To disable Web Acceleration you need to get into the modem settings which you do in a browser window. I have the HughesNet HT1100 modem and the modem settings are found at http://192.168.0.1 for example. There's a little grayed out "i" (information) icon on the top right that takes you into the modem settings if you happen to be using the same modem. Mine defaults back to "Web Acceleration enabled" whenever I reboot the modem. I haven't seen where disabling Web Acceleration has had an adverse effect on any other web activity.
Just throwing this out there on the odd chance someone may be having similar problems.
