What do you see when you go to www.tinypic.com ?
What do you see when you go to www.tinypic.com ?
Nothing, my page never stops loading. At the bottom of my page it says:
Waiting for tinypic.com
It's hard to say what your problem is when it works fine from my Vista and Windows 7 PCs. So, I'll tell you what I'm using: IE8-32 bit on Vista or Win 7 (also both 32-bit versions of the OS). These are OFF in IE8: Protected Mode, Pop-up blocker, Smart-screen filter. I really can't think of why that one website is being blocked. I understand that Flash player requires the 32-bit version of the browser but I would not expect that issue to block the home page of any website.
The Explanation:
Your problem is that TinyPic can't handle higher MTU settings.
Most NICs have their MTU set at 1500 or higher, depending on whether Jumbo Frames are enabled.
The Solution:
Set your MTU slightly below the default. I recommend 1404, as that seems to give the best performance per stability, and ensures that TinyPic will load.
Here's how you do it:
Open a command prompt and paste the following command:
To check to see if the settings were changed, try this command:Code:netsh interface ipv4 set subinterface "Local Area Connection" mtu=1404 store=persistent
NOTE: If the network you're having issues with does not show "1404" in the left column, change "Local Area Connection" to the correct name of the network and try again.Code:netsh interface ipv4 show subinterfaces
Moderators:
Please set this thread [SOLVED] if you wouldn't mind.
As well, the same with the following threads:
Tinypic will not load on one computer
Tinypic randomly does not load
Images from Tinypic,ImageShack are not Loading

Mine are all at the default 1500 and they work fine on the website in question. So why wouldn't the default work for the OP?
This issue only occurs with certain NICs.
Yours is apparently not one of those.

I found an interesting "MTU Test" program here: http://qsextreme.com/mtutest/
