Make sure that your router does NOT have a lower MTU than the PC.

I have succesfully managed to alter the settings as prescribed in previous posts and I can access about 99% of sites that I couldn't previously.

For the 1% that I still can't (e.g Youtube and Big Brother Rolling Eyes

) does this mean that I still need to tweak the settings further?

For info. I applied an MTU setting of 1430.

Thanks

For information,
The advice above eventually worked for me (thanks Keith). Initially only had limited access by making the changes, but after taking a while to realise the only thing I hadn't done was reboot, I did this and now everything is back to where it was a few months back with full access.

The only way ive got it spot on in the past is after every tweak and reboot go back to dslreports and retesting.

Ive just accessed the site with no problems have u deleted your cookies and temp files recently that usually clears it if i have a problem with just one site all of a sudden thats what i do as u said you can access any other site ok,
And make sure your MTU is optimized as in an above post.

Try using OpenDNS servers change them in your router to
Primary: 208.67.222.222
Secondary: 208.67.220.220

I use OpenDNS as Steve is suggesting above.

I think you are wasting your time trying to get an answer out of Orange on this one.

Also Steve is with Be not Orange. Perhaps others who are with Orange can try.

Keith

Edit - Perhaps anyone else testing can say whether they are LLU or Max.

Upstream for LLU plus fixed line speeds will be 288

For IPStream Max upstream will be 448

Just tried to connect with a wireless Dell Axim PDA - No luck.

Stevie what about your mate who can connect is he LLU.

Best bet is to wait and see if Elhana has an answer.

I don't have any direct answers for this one but...

What happens if you try to browse to 91.186.7.162?
Can you ping it?
How about tracert?
