Thank you all for the help In the end just left as is and contacted the webteam at the website - and glad that was able to get an email to them about it - turns out they have a dns problem there end - so far effecting most of there clients and are working on it.

hi thanks. followed what i can set out on the page Just stuck with this have tried using within the brackets for local area connection - wireless network name wireless network adapter name host name of laptop all of this resorts in message on cmd of ;- the filename, directory name, or volume label syntax is incorrect. ------------------------------------- Problem I have been having is trying to connect to the website www.familytreedna.com when trying to connect on either laptop or pc (both vista) getting error msg (this has only occurred lately was able to connect to the website without any hassle 4 days ago- ) This problem can be caused by a variety of issues, including: <LI id=errorExpl2>Internet connectivity has been lost. <LI id=errorExpl3>The website is temporarily unavailable. <LI id=errorExpl4>The Domain Name Server (DNS) is not reachable. <LI id=errorExpl5>The Domain Name Server (DNS) does not have a listing for the website's domain. If this is an HTTPS (secure) address, click Tools, click Internet Options, click Advanced, and check to be sure the SSL and TLS protocols are enabled under the security section.

However the website can be access via blackberry so its not that the website is down. :S when following the help advise ruled out other issues as The website can be pinged with mdu at 1472 anything higher and all packets are lost but not browsed, this seemed to point to the mdu.......... now stuck on what to put in the brackets (local area connection) in order to get the mdu changed. (hope this makes sense to some one as i'm way out of my depth)

HI - hope some kind soul will be able to point this out to me, trying to get over an issue that seems to be caused by a too high a mtu setting (some webpages used to be able to access and can be pinged with a lower mtu but not browsed) on on using a guide to lower mtu its asking for local area connection name - now where would i find this? ipconfig all give me the Windows IP Configuration and wireless LAN adapter Wireless Network Connection: Connection-specific DNS Suffix . : Description . . . . . . . . . . . : Atheros AR5007EG Wireless Network Adapter using this guide(PChucks Network: Setting The MTU In Windows Vista) to do it To see what interfaces you have on your computer, type netsh interface ipv4 show subinterfaces To change the MTU, type netsh interface ipv4 set subinterface "Local Area Connection" mtu=nnnn store=persistent where Local Area Connection is the name of the network connection on your computer, from the list obtained above. nnnn is the desired value for MTU.
