Computer geeks, what could be the problem?

[hungarianchick 0]

I've have been having issues opening YahooMail on my computer. I can log in without issues, shows me that I have unread messages, however when I click it won't load my inbox. I ran a full virus scan, I cleaned my internet file folder, no results. Today I went over to my office and used my terminal there without issues.

Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.

If you have a pop up blocker, disable it temporarely to eliminate it as a possibility for your issue.

A little technical but it sounds like the same problem you are having:

http://www.eggheadcafe.com/software/aspnet/30970656/yahoo-email-will-not-load.aspx

The Problem:
I could log in to yahoo, but once logged in, I could not go to my
email inbox. I could to the login page: mail.yahoo.com. Then after
entering my username and password and pressing sign in, the webpage
would go blank and act like it was loading, but after a long while of
being a blank page, it would timeout. I also found out that other
yahoo websites would not load. I'm not sure what is the failed pages
have in common.

Attempted Solutions:
I tried pinging several of the broken sites and ran a tracert for
some. nothing significant was discovered. i turned off all firewall
and tried the sites again - no luck. then i rand Ad-Aware and SpyBot
S&D to see if some cookies were messing up the works...still nothing
changed.

Solution:
Finally, I found some forums discussing similar problems. i'm not
sure what the MTU setting is - for your router, but several of the
sites mentioned trying to decrease the MTU size. this website was
particularly helpful: http://help.expedient.com/broadband/mtu.shtml#winxp.
to find the MTU size of your router, try 192.168.1.1 in the address
field of an IE window. you may be required to enter a username and
password. i checked the MTU size of router and it was initially set
to "auto" and i guess - 1500. when i changed it to manual and 1492, i
then tried the yahoo mail account again. IT WORKED! so, i saved the
new settings in the router, turned the firewalls back on including the
pop-up blocker...the mail account still works.

Thanks, I'll will try that.
As for the pop up blocker I actually had that turned off about a week ago when looking for flight tickets, and never turned it back on, so that's not the problem either. Thank you for your input, though...
