Connection inconsistency in GNU/Linux

Hello,
I am having some trouble with some pages. At first I though it was some kind of DNS problem. However, I am not so sure anymore.

I have a Wippies modem. My ISP requires me to log into their network with PPPoA. However, PPPoA plus self-specified DNS is not an option with the Wippies modem. Thus, I specify the DNS on my computers.

I can, however, not connect to certain pages. I check the sides via nslookup and I can ping them but I cannot connect to them.

Here is an example

╭─[rasmus]
╰─[14:31:25]> nslookup netvibes.com
Server:        205.210.42.205
Address:    205.210.42.205#53

Non-authoritative answer:
Name:    netvibes.com
Address: 193.189.143.34

╭─[rasmus]
╰─[14:31:32]> nslookup netvibes.com

^C

I have tried all thinkable fixes:

* I have tried OpenDNS and DNSresolvers.com
* I have tried to disable ipv6
* I have tried options single-request in my resolv.conf
* I have tried echo 0 > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/tcp_window_scaling
* I have tried sysctl -w net.ipv4.tcp_timestamps=0

The only "work around" I can find is going through a proxy like hide-me-now.com.

This is /only/ a problem with Linux (I had the same problem with Zenwalk and Ubuntu (live cd)). With XP there is no problem.

I really hope somebody could help me out here.

Thanks,
Rasmus
