TCP receive from one particular site hangs

Hi,

I can't access http://aptguides.com/ from my x86 Linux 2.0.0 system,
but I can retrieve any other URL I try, and the problem URL works fine
from an SVR4.0 box on the same Ethernet.

Under Linux, only the first 108 bytes of the data are recieved, then
the connection hangs. Under SVR4, I get 108 bytes in the first
segment, then the rest of the data come along immediately after.

The problem happens on Linux whether I use netscape, lynx, or even
telnet. Again, I have not found any other remote site with which
my Linux system has this difficulty.

Any idea why this happens?
