Try www.bt.com, if that fails then it's pretty much definite. Microsoft are a bit silly for setting the DF bit on outbound packets, firewalls at web hosting facilities that block all ICMP are even more silly. Why on earth Microsoft, who must know about this problem, block ICMP on their kit I don't know... Most if not all dialup has an MTU of 1500. -- Ryan O'Connell - <[email protected]> - http://www.complicity.co.uk I'm not losing my mind, no I'm not changing my lines, I'm just learning new things with the passage of time
