When I try to load a certain page (www.altavista.com as an example)
the browsers says connected and then doesn't load the page at all.
there is no traffic (this is over 33.6 modem). It looks like both the
server and the browser are waiting for something.
Lynx has this problem too. While this occurs almost always, sometimes
the page loads well (but slow).
Pages loads ok in Windows.
Also if I use a different ISP (commercial and not the modems at the
university I am at) the problems dissapears (though that ISP was slow
in all other regards).
This problem appeared in the middle of the summer.
I would appreciate any pointers on the tools I may/should use to find out
about this.
My guess is that there is something strange about TCP packets, so that
connection is lost though it shouldn't be. Clearly there is some
difference btw how this is handled by Windows and linux, and it looks like
it also depends on the computers in between (some packets got filtered out
??)
I run 2.1.121 , but I also have this problem with 2.0.35. The pppd version
is the one needed for 2.1.121.
thank you
