Unable to connect to some sites?

[Andy Neillans]

Hi all,

I'm running Vista Ultimate 32bit and 64bit, and am experiencing a strange
problem with accessing a handful of sites using either Internet Explorer or
Firefox.

First off, my network topology:

Router: Cisco 877
Desktop 1: Vista Ultimate x64 (Static)
Laptop 1: Vista Ultimate x32 (DHCP)
Desktop 2: Windows XP Pro (DHCP
Laptop 2: Windows Server 2003 Standard (Static)

The router serves as the DHCP Server.

Ok, now the detail.

Best example site I have is www.reuters.com. This one *never* loads under
eitehr Vista machine, but works fine under either of the other two. It does,
however, get a partial HTML document - enough to display the title and
probably a third of the rest.
Another example is www.sage.co.uk; this one occasionally loads (although
takes 10x longer than normal) or otherwise times out like reuters.

I have tried disabling the Receive Window Tuning (this was needed for my
previous Cisco router, an 837 - under which I was able to access both the
above sites without any difficulties - the 877 is running exactly the same
configuration).

Any ideas on how to diagnose this further?

Regards,

Andy Neillans
