Unable to connect to sites

[jamien73]

Hi, since getting my adsl2 connection, apart from some speed issues, i have been having problems connecting to some sites:

centrelonk.gov.au (Hell the whole gov.au heirarchy is down)
and
merp.com (though this comes up and down, but admins say its always been up.

ADSL2 thru optus

What is your MTU setting at.

[jamien73]

Hi, it is 1500. I keep trying to change it in the billion at Configuration->WAN->ISP->EDIT->MTU, but it always reverts back to 1500 no matter what i change it to.

Any ideas?

Jamie

funnily enough i can access merp.com from the fedora 9 box here.

Hello,

I believe that you might be using the WAN type as PPPoA.
Try switching the WAN type to PPPoE LLC which should default to 1492 for the MTU.

Thank You

Hi, i changed to PPPoE, and it has changed to 1492, but i still cant reach the aformentioned sites.

The http://www.centrelink.gov.au/ webpage loads for me. Perhaps you might want to try this (assuming you are running a variant of Windows) Start -> Run > "cmd" > "ipconfig /flushdns"

If that fails, perhaps try Start -> Run > "cmd" > "netsh winsock reset all".

Good luck & post your results!

Hi, no luck on the vista or mce boxes. The f9 box can still get to merp.com, but no one can get to *.gov.au.

My Billion 7402 had a bad habit of blocking some sites that it didn't like, for what ever reason. Every now and then, I had to go into its set up and clear its list. I can't think off hand of what they call this feature, I will need to go through the forum for my old posts, as I have mentioned this before.

I am using a Open824RLW and cant access www.zazz.com.au all yesterday and still now.

I could access it 2 days ago!

[jamien73]

Hi, cjecked that the firewall was off, and it is, still no luck connecting. I am trying to set the mtu to a smaller value, but everytime i reconnect the modem, it always goes back to 1492.

Jamie,

Regards
GLO

[jamien73]

zazz is good here.

I was trying to change my MTU, is that allowed, ore will it go back to the isp/dslam size all the time?

Jamie

[GLOpro]

Maysbe zazz.com.au is a problem only in Sydney.

At work i can access it, but thats with a different provider.

If you are on PPPoE then you are able to change the MTU, try to lower it to 1452 or 1400 and see if that makes a difference
