I upgraded from Wanadoo anytime 2 months ago to Orange 2mb starter broadband with the speedtouch USB modem,

it's been working okay until this tuesday-

now I can only view some webpages- eg.
talkbass.com
blogspot.com blog pages
savastore.com
bbc messageboards,

but not hotmail, myspace, youtube, or the Orange.co.uk homepage- they just time out- "the connection was reset by the server"

strangely some Orange pages work though-
like this-
http://www.orange.co.uk/time/b...andaccess/

but not the email login page.

I'm still using windows 98SE,
but using a dialup service from Fast I can access all of them,and post here.

how can this be fixed?

thanks.

Presumably on the Fast dial-up you're using an onboard modem, not the Speedtouch.

thanks! it's working fine now I've tweaked the MTU and RWIN settings.

yep, I was using an internal modem to access the Fast dialup.

Just make sure you have decent software firewall and virus protection if you're using a modem. Your IP address is directly exposed to the internet and people can hack you. At leasst if you have a router they can't do that

About 4 weeks ago both my desktop and laptop started with this issue. Rang the now infamous Orange tech support who knew less about PCs than I and I'm no expert - simply an internet surfer. After many phone calls the detail of which I wont bore you with I returned back to work after the Xmas break yesterday, did a bit of googling, found this website and threads, went home and lo and behold a bit of pinging and MTU changes later on my wireless router and Vista settings (as noted elsewhere) everything works once more! Many thanks to all and this site is now logged as one of my favourites!

Cheers to the real technical support guys & girls here.
