I have a simular problem. I have a webpage that refuses to load. Ive checked everything, twice. Do different things from other sites but no luck. Page simple turns and states done on bottom left. No text no pictures. Running xp and Kaspersky.

I read both articles and was wary of using the above suggestion. I would use it but, I just wanted to throw out what worked for me. I was having difficulty accessing a site that I'd used several times. It occurred to me to try resetting my modem. This did the trick. Simple fix!

does this method affects internet speed??

My MTU was blank; I tried an MTU factor of 1492 and then 1500. On both occasions when I brought up DrTCP the values had returned to blank. Still can't get Rapidshare and Amazon.com

I ran this program and my MTU value was blank. Entered a value of 1500 and saved it. The sites that I was having trouble viewing worked perfectly. Thanks.

Unfortunately, i cant access any of the pages that provide that program. Is there any way to do the tweaking without downloading it?

This was the only solution that solved my problem. What I was wondering is why, after reformatting, the problem still occured...

Someone suggested on this site suggest I reset my modem...and it did the trick! Thanks!

Mid-morning yesterday I started being unable to access the Livejournal site. Error mess. indicates the server is disconnecting from me. MTU would not seem to be the problem, as that didn't change yesterday. Any idea what's gone wrong?

On top of everything else, pay attention to the news too. LiveJournal may have been affected by a denial-of-service attack that affected other sites. Try again tomorrow.

I used an Internet Accelerator, a software that "optimizes" my network connection values, and all was ok but i couldn't access webpages (important ones by the way, like hotmail). I used the value of 1492 in both of my ethernet cards using the software here suggested (original values were 1500) and rebooted. Now all pages work!!! and messenger is also on track. I don't know if this was the root solution, but after i did this, everything worked immediatly. Thanks!
