Cannot open certain websites

As mentioned in the title, I have problems when opening certain websites only such as friendster and youtube. I have no problem with the rest.

The problems lies on PC? I tried some of the methods I've googled but it didnt help. Or could it be the wireless setting blocks such websites. (I'm using wifi in my hostel) How do I confirm the cause and solve the problem?

Thanx in advance.

Can't connect to wireless

Guys, I have a question.

Does the wireless LAN cards differ in their strength of detecting and connectiing wifi. When my friend and I are at the same place, my friend can connect to the internet very quickly, without any problem at all while I have a difficult time connecting to it and most of the times, it failed after multiple attempts. Does this has anything to do with the version of wireless card, as my laptop is older (2005) than his (2006).

If indeed the problem lies on the wireless card, is it possible for me to get some external ones or any solutions? I'm getting frustrated, wireless is available but i can't use it.

Or could it be due to configurations or etc?

Any comments/suggestions/help is greatly appreciated. Thank you.

Problems in Maths

Maths is always the subject that I can't seem to handle no matter how hard i try i.e. exam grades are bad. Maybe i'm not smart enough. Sometimes i wonder how some can do so well.Perhaps I wasn't hardworking enough or my study method is wrong, but i start to have this feeling- some just can't do well in maths, just like some who can't take biology. Anyone agree with me?
