There is something very odd about the TCP stack in 10.2.
There are other differences in these two machines obviously but the only machine I can't view that page on is 10.2
It wouldn't be the TCP stack (at least I don't think), as some 10.2 installs can reach the site. As such, it also should not be the kernel itself, although it may be implicated. Is there a pattern of NIC brands or drivers being used that can or can't load this site? I believe that the IBM machines are using an Intel chipset, and apparently can reach the site. What is everybody else using? Broadcom? Wireless with MadWifi? This could make a significant difference.
I am using a wireless card on a laptop and I cannot access the site either. 10.2 default kernel, i386. Output of lspci: 02:02.0 Network controller: Intel Corporation PRO/Wireless LAN 2100 3B Mini PCI Adapter (rev 04) S.
