    Solved: LinkedIn homepage loading issue
    All,

    I can't explain why a myriad of different users and machines can't load the LinkedIn.com homepage. It has nothing to do with cookies, OS, etc. BUT I BELIEVE I SOLVED IT and thought I would post the solution here.

    I FIXED THIS ISSUE ON A MAC - CHANGING THE MTU SETTINGS ON WIN SHOULD DO IT TOO, I DON'T KNOW HOW TO CHANGE IT ON WINDOWS THOUGH. I fixed this issue by changing the MTU on my Mac. To do so:
    - Go to the Apple Menu
    - Choose System Preferences
    - Choose Network
    - If you're on wireless, choose Airport (otherwise choose Built-in Ethernet) then click the Advanced button on the bottom right.
    - Click the Ethernet tab at the top right
    - Change Configure from Automatically to Manual
    - Change the MTU to 1000
    - Click Apply and try getting in to LinkedIn, it should work.

    I'm on a MacBook Pro on 10.5 and have had this issue with LinkedIn and some other sites. My laptop could not get in, but my wife's 13"MacBook could - leading me to think it was a laptop issue after I played with the router settings and it wasn't fixed.

    I just got in and fixed this issue by changing the MTU on my Mac. To do so:
    - Go to the Apple Menu
    - Choose System Preferences
    - Choose Network
    - If you're on wireless, choose Airport (otherwise choose Built-in Ethernet) then click the Advanced button on the bottom right.
    - Click the Ethernet tab at the top right
    - Change Configure from Automatically to Manual
