on some sites, incomplete page loading - both IE and and Chrome

My PC was 100% until I moved from a hotel (temp) to my rented townhome.

I'm on a netgear router with Time Warner cable.

I compare my home PC to work and work PC handles all the listed websites (below) 100% correctly.


http://www.bicycling.com

Will not ever load (indefinite hang) on either IE8 or Chrome. But, I can ping it and it's fine.


This should say hotpads.com WITHOUT the www. prefix but it's being converted to a link by this forum software.

HotPads - Map Search for Real Estate, Apartments and Houses for Rent, Foreclosures and Homes for Sale for looking at rentals. It's similar to Maps.google.com whereby the map is composed of squares (unit of "download"). In IE, the regular map option won't work but aerial (satellite) and a hybrid DO. It fully works in Chrome.


Cycling Powermeters | SRM, Quarq CinQo, PowerTap, Garmin Powermeters works on Chrome but will NEVER come up on IE.

And on some websites (forums) there are supposed to be some little icons next to each post, but they never show on my home PC. But, they do at work or on my smartphone.

Pure genius. Using anonymous.org I CAN fully open the www.fascatpowermeters.com website. I can't test hotpads as it is forcing the \mobile version of the website. But, I can NOT open www.bicycling.com via anonymous.

The router is a NETGEAR provided by Time/Warner Cable. Said router has never been used at this address (rental).

My hosts file is all comments (#).

I've looked at my router (North Carolina) via 192.168.0.1 and there are hardly any settings I can change. Conversely, my Verizon router (Maryland) had a lot of settings you could change.

My startup (NON-services, STARTUP tab/applet) is pretty bare minimum. Skype, MS keyboard, Logitech webcam, iTunes, Quicktime, MS Security client, Java and StickyNotes.

On www.bicycling.com, for example, when I type it into the address bar and hit ENTER, the TITLE of the window changes immediately to that webpage meaning it's gotten something from that IP address. And quickly. But the green progress bar stalls.

When you look at the router, does it mention pppoe as the way you connect to the internet?

If so, see this post (and thread)
Getting yellow triangle over network icon. Some sites load, some don't

I saw that and my MTU needed no change: 1472.

NOWHERE on the router does it show anything about anything re: connection. It's got virtually no recognizable information as I'm used to seeing when viewing a router interface. Nada.

It's a Netgear CGD24G.

Here is a page showing the router interface. My CGD24G does NOT have the "setup wizard" alluded to.

Ding ding. Turning OFF Javascript for IE8 fixed all the problems (but now obviously pages display strangely because it's turned off)...Now, what to do?
