    Well,

    My thread in After hours answered my question that it is not an RTE problem and its down to my network so I have a question for the the computer techs.

    RTE.ie was getting stuck on api.twitter.com when loading with Firefox and Internet explorer.

    Yoyo mentioned the DNS but I have had speed issues with a Netgear DGND3300v2 router and Netgear told me to fix it by doing the following under the WAN settings.

    Tick - Disable port scan and disable DOS protection
    Tick - Respond to ping on internet WAN port
    Tick - Disable SIP ALG
    Change MTU size. Changed from 1492 to 1500.

    With all these reversed the rte pages load up fine.

    Any idea what is up?

    Thanks all

    It looks like RTE's website was trying to verify you, but the router was blocking access.

    That's my tuppence worth. Although the last time I played with MTU settings was in the days of my 33.6 modem.

    It is odd alright.

    Undoing all the changes they asked me to make and just changing the MTU from 1492 to 1500 brings upload speeds from 25 Kbps to 300+ but brings with it the problem with rte and also donedeal for opening images.

    Odd problem.

    Thanks!
