Odd internet problem

rockhopper · 08-Dec-2005, 14:05

The internet has been down here at work for the past two days. However it appears that on my machine i can still get on this site! No other web sites are working. I can't click on any external links and some poeples avatars are not working.
Most odd.

Sounds like a firewall/content filtering issue Paul.

I'm with Tony on this, I can't get to VD, or any other sites really that are slightly offensive, not even Ebay, or most of the sites people list here, and avatars/images are removed also, I can't even view my own avatar here on my server at home

It might be an MTU issues - some I know had this come up the other day, with similar symptoms.

Check your modem/router's MTU setting.
If it's on AUTO, set it to 1492, then test again.
If you still get the same problem, try changing it to 1452, and test again.
If it's still a problem after this, set it back to AUTO and try something else
