What browser were you using for this? I have been experiencing problems with Konqueror over the last month or so. It will intermittently fail to download parts of webpages (mostly images). Other browsers did not seem to have a problem. Another looong shot may have to do with pmtu discovery and the possibility that your server was under 'ping attack', which could have caused its firewall to drop all pings, inc. those from your client. This would only be valid if your client MTU is less than 1500. I wouldn't hang my coat on this, but it sounds like a good conspiracy theory anyway . . . :p -- Regards, Mick
