problem accessing hotmail or yahoo through wireless network?

hmmmm…..so this post establish myself into a bit of wireless networking moreover am a certified Linksys troubleshooter *yea!

now the thing i noticed last week ,peepz not able to access hotmail or yahoo websites or login within their wireless network and mainly with the ISP’s : AT&T bellsouth and TIme Warner.*lol

peepz began to worry about this thing ,as this is a big problem of them to cope *naaah

them all just need to realize that if they can access other sites then they can access them as well however its natural ,there is some settings they need to perform on wireless gateway (i.e. Router,Access point ,Bridge etc.)

mainly in router let say an example ur wireless connection running on WRT54GS v7 dats a speed booster router from Linksys.

what you need to do ,you dont have to be tech-expert for tht *lol

just need to open its set up page by entering 192.168.1.1 (i.e Linksys router’s default gateway ) in the address bar of internet explorer .it will ask you for a username and password ,enter default password -admin ,click ok.

NOTE: admin wont work if u have already setted or changed ur password.

now you on the WRT54GS set up page ,you will notice an option as MTU which should be auto by default ,you just need to change that to manual and it would be 1500 ,just switch it to a user defined entry of 1400 and then save settings !!!

now dont wonder what da heck a mtu means …?? MTU means maximum transmission unit ,(the size in bytes) of the largest packet that can be given to a layer of communication network.*kewl

power cycle the network connection ,means unplug the power cable of router ,unplug the power cable of modem and plug e’m back in.

up and running ,check you would be able to access your yahoo or hotmail as well as you  can set up different size for different websites .*koool huh

or of you dont wish to mess in with your router’s setting just make a call to technical support’s toll free number and it wont take more then a 5 minuted to perform the settings.*damn gud

for any other brand of router ,perform the same settings for MTU ,and you wld be up up all the way!!
