Since you have a whole bunch of headers, adjust your MTU down on that workstation. Try "Dr.TCP" http://www.dslreports.com/drtcp and see if it helps.

I always run with 64-bit encryption, everything perfect, except 1 site. Get excellent signal strength, excellent down/uploads with dslreports. Turns out this 1 site (smithbarney.com) that is extremely slow, or, most of the time, doesn't even come up, uses SSL, 128-bit https encryption at the browser level. As an experiment, I temporally turned encryption off both at the router & at the client. Now this site runs very fast, as it should. Since I want to run w/encryption, I tried 128-bit wireless encryption. Has same problem as 64-bit encryption. Switched back to no encryption, 64-bit several times. Quite consistent, this 1 secure site only runs well with no wireless encryption. I've tried other https sites (while wireless encryption was 64-bit), run fine. Only problem I see is with smithbarney site. My understanding is the wireless encryption runs just above the physical layer. And that it totally unrelated to the browser 128-bit encryption, I would guess at the application layer. I am also running with MAC address filtering, feel that is not part of the equation. I went 1 step further & dialed up to the Internet with this 1 problem machine. Ran the troubled site just fine, slower, but in the range of dialup. Is my understanding correct? Can anyone think of why this 1 site has a problem? Can anyone think of something I can try to diagnose this, I really want to run with encryption on? ~~~~_/)~~~~ Norm Perron _________________________________________________________________ Is there a gadget-lover on your gift list?
