Using IE/FF have problems AOL browser OK

[TheBB]

Am on AOL and can access all sites from within the AOL browser, but only some sites from IE6 and Firefox (and these are not 'secure' sites); however, if I attach to a neighbours wireless network instead of my own I am not prevented from accessing sites such as

http://www.belkin.co.uk

Would seem to be an AOL issue as I am sure I had this on dial up, but now on BB with a Netgear DG834 wireless router and W2K fully up to date. AOL view is that if it works with their browser then it's not their problem (OK I suppose as they can't support all their members machines) but in discussions this is not a unique problem, but some seem not to have it so any ideas?

Typing in

http://www.belkin.co.uk

takes me to:

http://sea.search.msn.co.uk/dnserror.aspx?FORM=DNSAS&q=www.belkin.co.uk

Hosts file is empty so don't think I am being redirected.
Zone Alarm lets AOL stuff through so don't think its that

What do FF and IE use that AOL doesn't??!!

I think it is an MTU issue.

. Set the MTU value on the router to 1400
. Set the client MTU to 1400. Use DrTCP, a freeware tool, to make this change:

You need to reboot for this change to become effective.

Unfortunately already at 1400 MTU and AOL works!

Any other ideas please
