MYRIAGON Posted September 22, 2005 CID Share Posted September 22, 2005 Check to see if you have any VPN software installed or VPN enabled somewhere, or if you used to have DSL make sure you completely uninstall that software. Also look down through your Add/Remove programs and see if there is anything you don't use anymore that may modify your settings, and uninstall Then use DrTcp and set MTU to 1500 Save/Exit/Restart PC. Good luck man , hope that works. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cholla Posted September 22, 2005 CID Share Posted September 22, 2005 chuckle : This link might give the explanation if this is your OS or connection type. http://openvpn.net/archive/openvpn-users/2005-04/msg00148.html If Van Buren reads this topic he can probably explain better.
