Re: [DSL] Can't connect to certain websites...

Oh, so you're back in NJ now. Anyway, this is my new tweak test. »/tweakr/block:···nXPpppoe

Hopefully, you could notice anything that is not normal for dsl so, I could change it immediately.

It looks ok other then a slightly low MTU but that shouldn't be an issue.

Do you have a firewall or Internet suite running on your computer?

Is anything on the router configured for a firewall or SPI?

Just for giggles, have you run a virus scan on your computer making sure your virus definitions are up to date?

Have you tried a different browser to see if that had any effect?

I am on my phone on my way to the office so it is hard to check if you posted any answers to these already.

Well, I do only have Windows firewall on my pc. And I have already tried to disabled it several times to check my connectivity. Also, I'm using Avast Pro V. 4.8 as my anti-virus software and it updates itself automatically every day. I don't think my anti-virus is blocking any access coz' I have checked that already. i have tried both IE, firefox and Safari as my browsers and wait... Oh my goodness!!! You know what?!? I was just able to access NBA, ESPN w/o any proxies. Whoah! I was doing some tweaks w/ Dr. TCP last night and I think I have hit the jackpot! I am all good to go now! I can browse any website w/ ease already. Thanks man for all your help!! Have a good day!!! Well, I will let you know later if this is not a fluke. I will try to access it again once I get home from work!!! Keep ballin!!!!

Well actually, I celebrated too soon!!! After being able to access sites such as NBA.com, ESPN.com for at least 3 days, it came back to haunt me again. When I went online this afternoon, I tried to access NBA again and to my dismay I can not access it anymore. I did not change any settings in my connection after I tweaked it using Dr.TCP 3 days ago. I tried to re-do my tweaking and yet it did not work.

Well, back to square one for me again. I hope I could resolve as soon as possible and I will let you know Koops. Have a good day!!!
