  windows update
@acanac.net | ACANAC blocking DNS for windows update
Not sure how to report this so I'm wondering if anyone else is having problems with windows update. IE keeps showing Page Not Found everytime I try to access MS windows update or microsoft.com. I tried it with kproxy and I can connect. |

For the weather channel did you try another browser like firefox or chrome ? |

  Acanac Inc Premium join:2007-03-05 Mississauga, ON | It seems like a MTU setting problem. Can you please post your MTU settings. |

join:2009-01-19 Etobicoke, ON | reply to windows update MTU was set at default 1500 - changed it to 1492 and got the windows update to work. Thanks. |
|
  Acanac Inc Premium join:2007-03-05 Mississauga, ON | Not a problem. Was the MTU value set to 1500 on one of our modems or are you using your own? |

join:2009-01-19 Etobicoke, ON | reply to windows update It was my own modem (a Dlink) but I changed the MTU settings on my router (DLINK DIR-655)and not the modem. I think the router modifies the modem settings when it reboots. |
