From: will_usher on 15 May 2008 12:28 Since networking my PC through a Zyxel router my PC hangs/pauses when I start a download, like an MP3 download (mouse timer shows on screen and PC freezes for 10 seconds) and also when the download reaches 100% Does anyone have any idea why this is happening and how to fix it (it wastes so much time when trying to download multiple files) Thanks

If not, I'd start by checking the MTU setting. <http://networking.nitecruzr.net/2007/06/determining-mtu-to-single-server.html> http://networking.nitecruzr.net/2007/06/determining-mtu-to-single-server.html It is Windows XP, right? What SP level? -- Cheers, Chuck, MS-MVP 2005-2007 [Windows - Networking] http://networking.nitecruzr.net/
