I had the bright idea to enable jumbo packets on my Asus router. Shortly after I did that, none of my machines can reach server IP: news.newserver.com (not the actual name) and also another news server from another provider. This created a huge problem for me since I depend on both almost daily.
I noticed that when I ping news.newserver.com from any machine on my network, it says:
The router, 101.106.190.94, is several hops away from my router's DMZ. I have no access to it; as, it's my ISP's router. My guess is if I could delete the offending route on that router, this would avoid the routing loop at that router.
My gut instinct says I'm SOL. Is there anything I can do without having to call my ISP and tell them I messed up their router or get VPN? How long would it take for this issue to resolve by itself? I really don't want to get VPN since I doubt I can afford one that supports 1000Mbps throughput and gives me a private dedicated IP.
Any helpful suggestions would greatly be appreciated.
UPDATE: Issue resolved by ISP
