Currently running Windows XP Home on my main home PC and running Windows 2000
on a laptop. Both PC & laptop connect to the internet through a Linksys
router (wired connection). On the laptop, I am able to access every website,
but on my PC, I am limited to some websites. For example, on my PC, I cannot
even access www.msn.com, www.microsoft.com, www. sympatico.ca, etc...,
however, I can access www.google.com, www.yahoo.com, and some others. I find
this to be quite wierd because both connect through the same router. Any
ideas would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

Can access some websites, but not others, and problems websites include
www.msn.com, www.microsoft.com. Most frequent known cause is the MTU setting.
