Matt,

The MTU problem cannot be corrected by any SP - it is individual, and varies
depending upon any server that you're accessing. That said, if you set MTU
equal to that on any other properly working computer, having identical an
connection (such as your other home computer?), it should not be a problem.
Please reread the articles.

What antivirus software did you un install? Please read that article.

None of these are quick solutions, you have to do a lot of work unfortunately.

Now, one problem that you may be suffering from is that you have not yet defined
your problem and / or solution. Please read my article on solving problems.
I'll work on this with you, but you need to work on one problem at a time, not
try a lot of different fixes based upon someone else with a similar symptom here
reported doing this and it worked for him. If you, possibly, have multiple
problems, you'll not fix all of them at one time.

To summarise your problem (please correct me as necessary).
# This computer, on this network, does not work.
# Another computer, on this same network, works fine.
# This computer, on another network, works fine.

Let's take a look at "ipconfig /all" for 3 cases:
# This computer, from this network.
# The other computer, on this network.
# This computer, from the work network.
