| 728018 | 2008-12-12 04:01:00 | Well I have just tried taking my router out and connecting my EEEPC directly and that works fine so the problem is something in my routers setup. Now all I have do is figure out what needs changing. Any other suggestions Safari? Many thanks to everyone. I really appreciate the collective wisdom displayed by all of you. |

| 728019 | 2008-12-12 04:19:00 | Its been 3 hours since you posted this problem. Wouldn't calling Compass have solved the problem by now as suggested by Wratterus? | beeswax34 (63) | ||
| 728020 | 2008-12-12 04:27:00 | I don't think Compass will fix the problem unless they have some real experts on the help desk. What make of modem is it. D-Link modems are particularly prone to this. Ideally the MTU and MRU should both be the same. Check the MRU is on 1492 as well. If that make no difference bring both down to 1482 and if no better try 1472 It is a typical symptom of a router MTU problem if some sites load and others don't. As a last resort you could reset it back to default settings and reconfigure it again. So you have a wireless router connected to a broadband modem. That complicates things somewhat. Which one were you checking the setting in. |

| 728021 | 2008-12-12 05:00:00 | It is an Asus Wireless router all the settings are done on it. Wired connections to 2 PCs and wireless to Laptop. Works perfectly in all other regards. I shall now follow your suggestions and see how it works out. Thanks again. I also do not expect some one working on a help desk to know everything about my gear although I like to think he/she is expert in his/her end of the deal. | CliveM (6007) | ||
| 728022 | 2008-12-12 06:43:00 | How do I find that out? ISP is Compass - Operating system XP Home and Vista Home Premium. I have been trying on three different machines. Run>then type in %SystemRoot%\system32\drivers\etc\ and open the hosts file there with notepad. It should have this, if not, copy and paste it here 127.0.0.1 localhost :) |
