This can happen if you use PPPoE. Try enabling "TCP Frame Size Adaptation" (in firmware 3.3 and later this is active by default). Some known sites that this causes a problem for are... www.kingston.com, www.gmx.de, www.adaptec.de, www.tsr.ch.

In some cases certain web sites will not be available when using PPPoE connections. Using PPPoE over the Internet requires that data packets of a certain size move over the Ethernet connection. Usually this process is done by the remote web server using a discovery process to discover the best size of data packets to use. Sometimes Internet routers between you and the web page you are trying to reach do not support this process and the data is dropped by these routers.

To enable this service open the Configurator in advanced mode, on the "PPP" panel, "Global" window, and choose to enable the "TCP Frame Size Adaptation".
