    Hey guys...I have a problem, and I'm stumped. I have a Linksys WRT54GX router and a Westell DSL modem compliments of Bellsouth. Whenever I hook my router up, I can't access secure sites, and I have no idea why. I can access normal webpages, but any secured site gives a timeout error. If I bypass my router, I can get to these secure sites. I've tried resetting my router, but doing so accomplishes nothing. Any ideas???


    EDIT: I fixed the problem. Strange how I've been looking for weeks, but never managed to put the right words into google...For anyone else with this problem, go here...it basically tells you to lower your MTU.
