can't access windows live/MSN AND Orange webmail from kubuntu anymore (3rd email attempt)

[Frederic Schaer]

Solved !!

It appears I have some bad routers between home and some internet servers, and my ethernet interface MTU was too high !
So : SFR/neuf are the culprits...

Lowering the MTU solved everything.
See : http://www.fir3net.com/General-Info/General-Info/pmtu-pmtu-black-holes.html

Cheers !
