    Pings and Tracert looked good, 30/31mS to both sites.

    I was having the same trouble in IE and FF, think I've cracked it reducing MTU from Vista default 1500 to 1430. Apparently Vista can't auto-adjust my MTU to suit as I'm un-pingable. Does that make any sense re your servers? :confused:

    Whatever, seems to work OK now. :)

    I tought 1500 was standard (it surely is on Linux) but Windows uses an other calculation method so that 1500 on Linux is 14XX on Windows. Not sure tough.

    1500 is the maximum and common, but some servers transmit smaller packets. AOL use 1400 IIRC, at one time the BT network was using 1458 or some such figure.

    Dunno why but every time I view any thread or forum at the moment all the images refresh, even the ones that are cached

    1500 certainly isn't the maximum... look at jumbo frames in switches...

    I think it depends on your ISP, auto adjust is supposed to deal with this, but i guess not in this case

    I believe my connection to BT is around 1450 or something, but i haven't looked at the modem in a long time
