I don't think that's an option with my setup, unless you mean disabling the hardware firewall?

With the problematic websites, have you tried bypassing the DNS in favour of the actual IP range instead? If not, you can give it a try by clicking on: Start -> Run -> cmd -> nslookup [WebsiteName.com]
Click the enter key to get the ip range and then type in 'exit' (and hit enter) to close the command prompt.
Once you've got the numerical ip address, try entering it directly into your browser's URL bar. Worth a try, and if you get lucky - it might even make a difference.  |
I've spent some time messing about with (for want of a better description) 'rebooting' the dns/ip settings through the run command, tracert and other config settings, attempting to get the correct mtu value etc.
I've bookmarked the information pages
somewhere lol but in the end I decided I don't really know or understand enough about it to continue to meddle lots
huh, Tomorrows World* said computers would usher in an age of dalliance and ease whist computers and technology removed the stress and mundane grind of life and work... who'd have thought it would just make life even more frantic at home and at work?
They said we were supposed to be living on the moon and wearing clothes made of tinfoil by now - I am disappoint.
