594329 2007-10-03 20:22:00 Problem solved,
All PC's will need to have their MTU's changed to 1472 in order to connect to the internet

For Win2K or WinXP: Download this, select the correct network adapter, and change it's ( probably non-existent ) MTU value to 1472 )www.dslreports.com

For Vista run the command prompt under admin and then type the following command in.
netsh interface ipv4 set subinterface "Local Area Connection" mtu=1472 store=persistent
Assuming that "Local Area Connection" is the ethernet adapter you are using to connect to your router etc

For Linux, nice and easy "ifconfig eth1 mtu=1472"

594331 2007-10-03 21:24:00 tried that linux command and spits out



mtu=1472: Unknown host
ifconfig: `--help' gives usage information.

ok fixed. ran



sudo ifconfig eth0 mtu 1472


and it seems to have done something, as no errors came back.

Does PF1 load any faster now ?I still feel it is an Akl problem as I do not have problems anywhere else.

594333 2007-10-04 05:30:00 MTU to 1472 you gotta be kidding?

Oh and the problem is happening everywhere, i'm in Nelson

594334 2007-10-04 15:01:00 I am in Nelson also but what I am saying the problem appears to be connecting to sites in Auckland.I have no problem with 90% of my regular sites and only have trouble with PF1 (the worst) and NZcity. kjaada (253)
594335 2007-10-05 07:45:00 The NZ server of cricinfo is another that often fails to load. Especially annoying when following matches with live scoreing. apsattv (7406)
