Hi,
I have cisco 1941 wan router. I have Ebgp routing with ISP. I have my own AS number.
Problem we are facing is 1 specific website' page is loading blank.
I tried to ping that website, it worked perfectly.
I tried to trace route that website, it worked.
Scenario i tested:
I connected laptop to LAN port of cisco router 1941,Ping & trace route worked properly, but web page loads blank page.
But if i bypass my cisco router 1941, i am able to load website page perfectly.
I have attached scenario.
Thank you,
Regards,

Hello,
MTU settings on your interface might cause that problem. Try ip mtu 1492, or tcp ip adjust-mss 1452 on your external interface.

Hi gpauwen,
On router interface, MTU is 1500. So if i change MTU at interface to 1492, will it not create same issue for other websites??
Thank you,

Check the output of the ping results. Anything above 1472 is fragemented. Try and set your MTU to 1472 and check if you can access the website.
C:\windows\system32>ping www.ndimensionz.com -f -l 1473

Gpauwen,
should i configure mtu size 1472 on router interface?
if yes, where should i confiigure it on lan or wan interface? & what config command i have to run?
And it will not affect other working website?

Hello,
apply it to the WAN interface with the command 'ip mtu 1472'. Other websites are not affected.

Hi gpauwen,
thank you,
i will try this.
is there any thing more to do? only this config command?
and if you have any manual/config guide for this do share.

If the mtu command on the WAN interface doesn't work, try 'ip tcp adjust-mss 1452' on the LAN (Fast)Ethernet interface.
I don't know of a comprehensive guide, but the problem with access to certain websites and MTU settings has been around for quite a while, so it is usually suggested to change MTU size as a possible solution.
