I'm having an odd problem accessing http://www.miniclip.com and was wondering if anyone else is having similar problems..
The main problem that appears is the page starts loading, gets to about 80%, and seems to stop responding. clicking on one of the game links starts to load that page, but again it stops responding. If I take my laptop to work however, the site behaves normally.
I've also checked with a couple of relatives who use Plusnet and they do not have the same problem. The one difference however, I am on broadband PAYG, while they are on 'your way' options 1 and 2.
From a number of experiments, including 9 different combinations of browser, 3 operating systems, and 2 different computers, I thinks it's safe to assume it's not my computers at fault. There is still the possibility of the the router, but it seems far to selective for that! One other peculiarity, if I refuse cookies the website is a bit more responsive sometimes but still fails.
So, has anyone else seen this, or have any ideas of other things to try, to narrow down what is going on!
TIA
Kev.

One thing worth trying is setting your MTU to a lower value. Try1430 and setting RWIN to 166800 if you're running Xp or Win2K. If you're running Vista you can only adjust MTU.
This page explains what to do.
Some websites can be fussy about MTU settings and it's worth a try to see if that's the issue. (It's more to do with the routers on the way to the site than the site itself - have a look here under "Path MTU Discovery".)

I hadn't though about the MTU, I've seen problems caused by that before, but not for some time..
And unfortunately, it doesn't appear to be the cause of this problem.
Interestingly, on my linux box netstat is showing a number of active connections to the miniclip server, they all have 600 to 800 bytes in the Send-Q (i.e not acknowledged by the remote host).
When I stop firefox the connections goto the FIN_WAIT1 state and stay there for some time, again indicating that the server has not responded the FIN packet (or it got lost somewhere).
This one has got me baffled!

Looks like I might have to concede that miniclip just doesn't like me
If I use an external web proxy the site loads fine, while it will not load if I go direct. so it looks like it's an issue between me and them!
Thanks to those who tried to help.
