Pangolin 7 - The connection was interrupted

[amasiar]

This is driving my crazy - because this only happens only at the office and only on my new pangolin. I'm running WRT54g with latest Tomato firmware. Wireless is working fine, but the wired network I get "The connection was interrupted" in firefox. I can ping everything just fine.

Perhaps something screwy with the LAN driver? Anyone else is having the same issue? Any idea on how can I troubleshoot it better?

Perhaps something screwy with the LAN driver?

Probably not. The LAN driver is provided by Ubuntu, and I've seen precious few problems with it... and definitely not that problem on any of our computers.

So, since it's only *your* Pangolin on that *particular* router, that rules out your Pangolin (providing you've tested it on other routers).

("But none of my other computers on this router do it!")

Yes, I know. But routers have a number of ways they can fail, and this is one of them. It could be the port. It could be the firmware. Or it could just be old (how old is it?).

You can try resetting the router. That sometimes helps.

The super weird part is that only thing that is timing out connections is Firefox. I can ping, ssh no problem. I'm just going to file it under "weird stuff that happens" and forget about it But if I come across some strange bug somewhere, I'll be the first one to say "I told you so"

The router is old, but working very well. None of the other machines (ubuntu or xp, wired or wireless) are having the same issue.
