It's difficult to tell from the symptoms you are describing but sometimes these flaky web page connection issues are due to fragmentation (or specifically how intermediate routers handle it) - sometimes they can be fixed by reducing the connection MTU
You could perform a ping test to see if that's a possible issue or you could just go ahead and reduce the MTU and see what happens - I don't know where that is in wicd, in nm you can do it by editing the connection properties, or you can use ifconfig to set the MTU temporarily

Ok, I did the ping test with different MTU values as shown in the previous thread, and found that 1429 and higher it resulted in "frag needed".
so I removed the wicd package and changed he MTU in the network manager to 1456. But I still can't connect to the Internet. I tried lower MTU values too but it doesn't make a difference.
Contact your provider, which MTU is used.
