I had problems like this and it turned out to be a problem with my wifi access point/router. A week before I had a network outage and when they were fixing it the tech replaced the router and had several settings involving various DOS attack detection. I was connected to the internet, but my local wifi had the symptoms you describe. I disabled syn attack detection and another that I don't remember and from that point everything worked fine. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
