Partially working network

[Damo67]

I'm having trouble downloading 99% of web pages. eg I can search on google but cannot open any of the links. I cannot open yahoo/bbc etc.

I can ping these and other websites succesfully.

It just started to get progressively harder to navigate the web. I have turned off all firewalls (Norton/Windows) and rebooted the router/laptop.

The laptop works fine on other networks. ISP is Wanadoo on a netgear router.

Thanks for any help

I suggest reducing the MTU setting on your router. Some websites (especially SSL sites) are very sensitive to packet fragmentation. This could be especially true if your problem connection is PPPoE authenticated.
