Re: Browser hangs Web site cannnot be displayed

All anti-virus software was uninstalled with the system restore. Having the
windows firewall on or off does not make a difference. I tried changing the
MTU settings to 1500 and various increments below that but that didn't help.
I had Windows Service Pack 2 before I did the restore. Wouldn't service pack
2 have already corrected the MTU problem?
