Please solve my problem.

I changed my modem yesterday and ever since I keep getting signed out of Google, I have a Google Toolbar and I get signed out when I change pages that I'm browsing or close my browser - it's driving me mental. :mad:

Change the modem back then

More information required.

Maybe nothing to do with the modem - I think it might be the Gmail Notifier I installed yesterday.

Modem is Netgear.

I've uninstalled the Gmail Notifier and am about to test, to see if the problem is solved - I'll be back.

Depending on your ISP, you may need to reduce the MTU setting from the default to say 1430.

Weyhey.!!! .. problem solved, now that's one for the book, Gmail Notifier can log you out of Google. Thanks to the posters who showed interest.

I'll look up MTU settings anyway, I have loads of settings for my modem/router, I did look at those first but other than the password section I was completely lost.

MTU might be 1492 and not stated as 1430. Mine is set to the standard 1500 but grey out as its set to Auto. Some people have reduced 1500 to 1492...

As I previously stated, it depends on your ISP e.g. see here

Thanks, oddly enough I'm with TalkTalk, anyway my problem with the Google thing has not returned since I uninstalled the Gmail Notifier. I changed my modem/router from the TalkTalk one to a Netgear modem/router and I'm not sure if that played a part with the problem, it's ok now and who needs the Gmail Notifier anyway. :rotfl:

espresso,
I was correcting you on the value you supplied incorrectly, you said "Depending on your ISP, you may need to reduce the MTU setting from the default to say 1430". It happens to be 1432 as suggested by talktalk site.

I just added that the value might be 1492 as suggested on the wiki and also linked to from talktalk. Sorry I also missed your vital link to "http://www.talktalkmembers.com/content/view/55/68/", where is it from your posts?

The TalkTalk broadband network has an MTU of 1432 bytes
