[sllug-members]: Potential Suse 10.2 Bug in browsing

I am experiencing a problem accessing certain web pages from Suse 10.2.

An example address is 209.160.6.137. When surfing to this address from
Suse 10.2 the page will not display.

Please note: this address *is* accessible from Suse 10.1, Ubunto and
XP. It only fails to display with Suse 10.2.

The problem appears to be independent of the browser. I've tested with
10.2 on Firefox and Konquerer and gotten the same results with not being
able to access the WEB site.

My guess is that the linux kernel in Suse 10.2 has a bug that is causing
the problem. Note the kernel in Suse 10.2 is 2.6.18.2-34-default,
the kernel in Ubunto (which works fine) is 2.6.17.

The site I am trying to reach (and others that also fail) are being
served from a Windows server and are running .asp files.

Any help would be appreciated.
