tech problem with accessing DW

Network wont let houseofbnd (home) access dreamwidth.org - can use a proxy but ouch... mucking around with router settings - any advice would be appreciated :)

Is DNS right?

Loads anything or complete timeout?

What does tracert to www.dreamwidth.org look like?

Try dropping MTU on your computer to 1300 to see if it makes a difference?
