Can only access certain sites

Hi all,

I can only seem to access certain sites since I moved in to my new house.

The connection is through BT and I am using a Linksys Wireless Router.

Ebay seems to be the main one I cannot connect to but there are other sites too. Seems like a DNS problem but have tried others.

Any ideas will be greatly appreciated

It means wander off to your router and find out what it's set to use. If it isn't 1500 (assuming BT's your ISP), then change it to 1500.

I tried setting to 1500 but it states the maximum is 1492?

Sounds iffy, though shouldn't be an issue at that.
What do you get with start, run, cmd, nslookup [site that doesn't work]?
