No problem.  I spend about a week and a half pulling my hair out,
trying everything I could think of until I figured out to try MTU.
Now it is something I will never forget :).  We were able to get to
get other sites to load with a MTU higher than 1400 (I think our
actual max was around 1420) but we just set it to 1400 since the
difference between 1400 and 1420 didn't seem that big and we would be
sure to be under whatever was needed.
