i was having a problem with accessing hotmail and windows update through my wireless router. i wasnt sure if the problem was with my firewall settings or what.

i confirmed the problem was with my router by conecting my laptop directly to the dsl modem. the problem was gone. now i knew where the problem was but not how to fix it.

manualy seting the mtu setting to 1492 imideately solved the problem

just wanted to confirm for anybody with the same problem that it realy is that easy

under the wan settings in the router set up put 1492 in the mtu box

thankyou for solving a huge headache that has been driving me nuts
