Thread: www.ebay.in not opening on mtnl

From last few days ebay.in either does not open, or takes very long time. I want to know, if others are also facing this problem, or there is something wrong with my connection. Please try to open ebay.in and share your experience.

Ebay.in is fine here, but there are number of sites which are not opening, few are: Citibank - India
Microsoft Corporation

MTNL is making fool of us!!

This issue of some sites not opening with a particular isp could be a limited time issue and would be solved within a day or less than that. Try using different browser, if you are using IE, try using firefox or opera and vice versa., it might work.

I was facing the same problem for last two months.

Following is the solution:

you have to change MTU size atleast at two places

1. At router's end

Open your router settings (192.168.1.1, username:admin, password:admin)
go to "WAN" section. change MTU size from 1500 to 1492

Restart router

2. At your PC

If windows vista
----------------
Run Command prompt as administrator

To view a list of active network interfaces and their MTU values in Vista using netsh, open command prompt as administrator and execute the following command:

netsh interface ipv4 show subinterface

You will be presented with a list of interfaces, and their respective MTU values.

To change the MTU value of a specific network card, type the following in command prompt:

netsh interface ipv4 set subinterface "network interface name" mtu=1492 store=persistent

Where "network interface name" is your specific network adapter name as obtained above (or viewable under Network adapters)

For example, if the name of your network card is "Wireless Network Connection":

netsh interface ipv4 set subinterface "Wireless Network Connection" mtu=1492 store=persistent

Restart ur PC

If windows xp
----------------
Changing MTU in windows xp is more difficult than in vista. So we will be going to use a tool for this purpose. Download Dr. TCP from the following location.

(This forum is not allowing me to post the link. search it on google and u will get it in the first search result)

Run this tool. Do not change general settings.
In adapater settings, select your network card and fill in the MTU size as 1492
Click Apply

Restart ur PC


After changing MTU at these two locations (PC and router), problem should be resolved. Also don't forget to change MTU size to 1492 in any other router settings which u have added on ur own in ur home network

I had the same problem with MTNL with few sites not working.

you will have to use opendns to solve this. Use these ip as your dns servers and everything will work smoothly.

208.67.220.220

You are right I too was not able to open a site.

In Xp :

As far as I remember each network adapter has a GUID assigned to it to uniquly identify it. Find it from device manager.

Open up registry,

Now goto the following location :
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Servic es\Tcpip\Parameters\
Interfaces\[Adapter ID]

Replace [Adapter ID] with ur device GUID , such as "{0569ED08-BCC7-4671-9B0B-9F722F154E4B}"

Now under that change the following keys :
Value Name: MTU
Data Type: REG_DWORD (DWORD Value)
Value Data: Default = 0xffffffff


Now If still u face the problem with MTU , try changing PPPoE MTU value :

goto "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Servi ces\Ndiswan\Parameters"

Create a new key : "0"

So that the location becomes :"HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Serv ices\Ndiswan\Parameters\Protocols\0"

Create the following keys under that location
Entry name Data type Value data
ProtocolType REG_DWORD 0x00000800
PPPProtocolType REG_DWORD 0x00000021
ProtocolMTU REG_DWORD the appropriate MTU size (in decimal)
