Belkin Wireless router problem - connected but not working properly :(

Options
Hi,
I wonder whether someone could help me. I have got a Belkin wireless router and Orange broadband, which I used in my old place for over 1 year and everything was fine. I now moved homes and want to reconnect my wireless connection. I managed to connect it all but for some reason there are only a couple of websites that load straight away eg google and lloyds. My skype also loads and works fine, but other websites just fail to open. I am not sure why, I have tried a few things but didn’t manage to get it sorted.

Here are the settings I ve got: I
Ip dynamic - got DNS pri and 2nd servers, but aparently there is a 2nd set of pri and 2nd bu cant find where 2 put them.
Encapsulation - PPP over ATM (PPPoA)

Multiplexing Method - VC-Based - I don’t seem to find this vc based - there is a diff option vcmux

Virtual Circuit - VPI=0 - VCI=38

Modulation - Multi mode - cant find it

Authentication - CHAP - cant find it

And what should the MTU for orange be?
Many thanks

    Change your DNS servers to:
    208.67.222.222
    208.67.220.220

    These are the addresses of OpenDNS servers. They're far better than most ISPs and are immune to the recent "DNS Injection" exploit.

    VCMux is what you want fotr multiplexing.
    Virtual Circuit is right.
    Leave Modulation alone. Should be G.DMT or G.DMT Lite.
    Authentication usually defaults to CHAP.
