I hope this is the correct forum to post this but if not then please move it to the correct one
Let me try and explain this as best as I can.
For the last few weeks on both of my desktop computers I have not been able to load tinypic.com web site at all. Any browser I tried just could not load it. It was trying to load but never does. Also in forums if someone posted a picture hosted from tinypic.com those pictures would not load. So this was driving me nuts because I just could not for the life of me figure out what was causing tinypic.com not to load. I mean every other web site that I would goto loaded up with out issue. Only tinypic.com would not load.
So some of the things I did to try and figure out what was causing the problem was first I disabled some thing like Avast,Admuncher and my firewall. And this did not help at all. So then I booted into safe mode and I still could not load up tinypic.com
. So now I was thinking well it has to be a hardware driver issue maybe. So just for the heck of it something was telling me that maybe my Network card is the cause. So I went to device manager and uninstalled it and then reinstalled it again. And right after it reinstalled itself I once again tried loading tinypic.com and to my surprise it loaded right up!
So then I just went back into my Network card settings to just re enable "Jumbo Packet" which I have been using. And wouldn't you know it tinypic.com stopped loading again. So then just to make sure I disabled "Jumbo Packet" again and sure enough tinypic.com loads again without issue.
So I finally figure out that when "Jumbo Packet" is enabled in my Network card it causes tinypic.com not to load at all. Weather I use "9014Bytes" or "4088Bytes" tinypic.com will not load. But as soon as I disable "Jumbo Packet" tinypic.com load right up.
So does anyone know why would enabling "Jumbo Packet" cause tyinypic.com too never load?
And also should I even be really using "Jumbo Packet" on my 2 computers?
Both my computers are using a "Intel EXPI9301CT Network Adapter" which is a Gigabit card. Also on my home network are 2 Playstation 3's, Grace Digital radio, Netgear WNDR 3700 Router and a D-Link DGS-2208 8-Port 10/100/1000 Desktop Switch Also 2
Netgear Powerline Adapters 10/100.
Also both computers are running Windows 7 64 Bit
Now the only reason I ever enabled "Jumbo Packet" on both of my computers was because I thought it would give me faster transfer speed between both computers. However as I understand it all devices on the network have to be able to do "Jumbo Packet" correct? And if that's really the case then I may just be wasting my time with "Jumbo Packet" anyway because I am not even sure that the Playstation 3 or my internet radio or router and desktop switch has it.
So am I better off just disabling "Jumbo Packet" anyway? Because one it keeps tinypic.com from loading and two because "Jumbo Packet" is a waste anyway for my network setup?
I did a transfer test with "Jumbo Packet" on and then off and to be honest the speed is almost the same.
