Hang in there... I'm still trying to figure out what to do.

Again, it is not, can not be, exclusively something that piclist.com is
doing wrong. At worst, piclist.com is not willing to negotiate to a smaller
packet size than 1500. But that is a perfectly valid size for a packet and
should not be dropped by any node between here and there (as far as I can
see, I have been known to be wrong before) and so must be the "fault" of the
ISP or some node between me and you.

It can NOT be piclist.com's "fault" because lots of other people can see the
site just fine, reliably, quickly, and without fail. And EVERYONE can see
the site via anonymizer or any of the other web proxy services.

I have a linksys router on the front end of the server and it does not have
much in the way of settings for MTU related issues. The only one is
"automatic / manual MTU size" and if manual, then what size MTU. Currently,
it is on automatic and it has been like that for years. So if there is a
problem, it must be a bug in the linksys or some bug between the linksys and
the NT 4 / IIS 4 server. So far, I can't find any mention of such a bug
related to the linksys model I have on the internet or at the linksys site.
However they do have a firmware update which I will apply as soon as I can
make sure I have another unit ready to drop in if this one doesn't survive
the firmware load.
