@essbebe/members,I reduced the MTU rate to 1492 but it made no difference. The OS/application is updated. I also tried to connect without a firewall (only the router NAT), but could not connect (Yahoo IM/ pc2phone/G-Earth) with the laptop.Then I tried using the modem in bridged mode and succeeded. Yahoo IM, pc2phone, google-earth all connect. However, I cannot keep it in bridged mode as the desktop pc (used by parents) also needs to connect independently. So PPPoE with NAT is the only option.This was not a problem till a month or so back.
