I can't seem to access a particular website, http://imgfree.com/images/lanssgojcgvb.jpg (http://www.TotalGFX.net>http://www.TotalGFX.net</a>

My)

I have another computer connected to the same router, and it can't connect either. My friend who lives two blocks away with the same ISP can connect perfectly however.

A quote from my ISP (MTS)

<blockquote><font class="small">In reply to:</font><hr>

MTS recommends using an MTU (Maximum Transmission Unit) setting of 1400. The MTU controls the amount of information to be sent at one time when you are accessing the Internet. If you are experiencing difficulties accessing secure websites or sending email attachments, your MTU setting should be changed to 1362. If you are using a router, instructions on changing this setting should be outlined in the support documents supplied by your router vendor.

<hr></blockquote>

The full text can be found <a target="_blank" href=http://mts.ca/portal/site/mts/menuitem.3daf24924ae9c4e50e14081031248a0c/?vgnextoid=2345d720995b1010VgnVCM1000000408120aRCR D&vgnextchannel=990f035352291010VgnVCM1000000408120a RCRD>here</a>

I set the MTU on my local machine AND on the router to 1362 and it hasn't changed a thing. I tried rebooting the router and it won't work.

My hosts file is empty and my DNS service has been tried Manual, Automatic, Stopped, Started, Disabled and still nothing works.

I also can't access a site using the same nameserver, http://www.wowenkho.com/

So it's either a problem with my ISP, my Router or the nameservers at fh-net.com (ns1.fh-net.com and ns2.fh-net.com)

I currently have a D-Link Router

Thanks for any help I can get here,
Chris

What result from ping TotalGFX.net or ping www.TotalGFX.net?

It gives me 72.36.131.74, but although I can see http://www.TotalGFX.net, I cannot see http://72.36.131.74

Weird: PING google.com gives me 64.233.167.99, and under http://64.233.167.99 I can see Google home page...
