[opensuse] Transfers from some websites stall -- but only under OpenSUSE 10.2?
I'm running OpenSUSE 10.2, and I'm having an odd problem where I can access some web sites fine, but transfers from others stall. The problem happens on an intermittent basis with various sites, but it's most consistent with http://www.cyberspace.org/. Experimentation shows that I can use SSH or telnet to that site but transfering a file of any size stalls. Testing shows that the site loads fine from Windows 2000 on the problem machine, and from SUSE 10.1 on another machine on the same LAN. The problem happens both on my LAN at home *and* on the one at work, ruling out a routing issue. It sounded like a classic MTU problem to me, but experimenting with the MTU didn't really help. Also, I can send large pings to cyberspace.org and they come back, suggesting packet size is not the issue. System details: IBM Thinkpad T22, OpenSUSE 10.2, kernel 2.6.18.2-34-default. The on-board ethernet on the Thinkpad died a while back with a corrupt EEPROM, so I'm using a NetGear FA411 card. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

Looks like this bug: https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=229848 see if the workaround explained there will help. Also, there is a wiki page as well: http://en.opensuse.org/SDB:Problem_with_establishing_TCP/IP_connection_in_op...
