Try turning off any automatic checksumming features on the interface.

    What you are describing typically occurs when a network interface
    starts dropping or mis-checksumming certain packets.

    Other possibilities include: long or fragmented packets being
    improperly blocked or erroring out.

Hm, it's very strange. "w3m" (a text browser) actually works like hell, while "fetch" doesn't work. When I open the same page (your Hammer patch diff for example) in w3m, it appears immediatly, while when I try to fetch it with "fetch", it gets stuck in


  #fetch -v http://apollo.backplane.com/DFlyMisc/hammer02.patch
  looking up apollo.backplane.com

and nothing further happens. So it seems to be a DNS problem.
But I thought they all are using the same resolver library.

Works:

  ping
  w3m
  dig

Hangs:

  fetch
  firefox
  thunderbird
  ssh

This only happens in this local net here, regarless whether I use the wireless card or the built in ethernet. Other operating systems work fine (I tried FreeBSD and MacOSX).

Any further hints what this could be?

Regards,

Michael
