Cannot access secure websites !

[annabelle]

Hi I am a new joiner here !

I have a Linksys Wireless router 54G and I use AOL broadband for DSL.

I cannot access secure sites eg, Barclays Bank, Microsoft Hotmail etc....

Ive looked in to all possible ways of resolving this but comming across this website interested me as it could be my MTU on the router???

My MTU is set to 1400 and for about 4 weeks now there are 3 machines that cannot access those websites in Internet Explorer?

I would be very greatfull for any help and advice

Thank you

Annabelle

Considered setting your MTU to 1492 (a friend using AOL broadband has his set to that) or 1500 (is what I personally have)? Also check any Content Filters that would perhaps block https.

After a quick Google search I found some "useful" sites, why not have a look:
Site 1
Site 2 ...this one seems to know what they're doing (from a quick glance).

Failing all that, tried restarting your router?

This old thread has details for setting up a Linskys router and AOL . See post 3 for detailed instructions from AOL themselves .
