Could also be ECN which was enabled in 2.4.4 according to the ChangeLog
of the kernel RPM. Some sites / servers don't work because their IP
stack is broken.
Try to reach : www.gracenote.com , www.teleauskunft.de or
www.hummingbird.com ( this is no advertising. :) )
If required I might find some more information about the ECN problems. I
read it some time ago in the internet and might find it again.
