3Com website down?


[link to this post]
 
Am I going mad? For the last week I've been unable to access the 3Com website. None of these addresses work:

www.3com.com
www.3com.co.uk
support.3com.com

I get the page header, and occasionally a little page furniture, but nothing useful.

I'm on AOL. I'm trying to get a firmware update for my router.

Both links you posted are working fine through F2S on both the old 2mb line and the new MAX line.

Regards,
Trevor

2 x F2S 2mb (hiding behind DG834PN & G604T routers) on: a WinXPpro PC, WinXP(x64) Laptop & WinVista RC1 Laptop.

Hi, reset your router MTU 1430 then with Dr TCP reset your PC Windows MTU 1430 make sure you save the settings and reboot PC and router.
You download Dr TCP from this website http://www.dslreports.com/drtcp

And when you have the time, carry out this procedure to find the specific MTU for your connection.

I prefer to find the MTU this way,
Finding the largest MTU by EXPERIMENT version 2

First reset windows with Dr TCP to MTU 1500.
Then reset modem/router to MTU 1500 save it, reboot PC and modem/router.

Next from windows, go to Start/Run and type in, cmd (click OK)
At the MSDOS-PROMPT type,

ping -f -l 1472 www.bbc.co.uk

Then reduce 1472 by 10 until you no longer get the "packet needs to be fragmented" error message or
