difficult to isolate problem - browser access to router has problems on on machine but not other



Hi, I've tried to run through all I can think of and am getting a bit stuck.

I have two machines running Debian (one a dual-core Pentium4 with i386, the other a quad-core AMD64-X2 with amd64), both with built-in ethernet cards.

The Pentium4 machine can access the browser interface of the adsl router I use with no problems.

The AMD64 machine has recently taken to stalling after entering the username and password for the adsl router's browser interface, and I've tried downgrading recent package upgrades, and different kernels and browsers without success.

However, the AMD64 machine booted with the sysrescuecd can access the browser interface of the adsl router without problems.

The AMD64 machine has a built-in Realtek 8169 NIC.

debsums has so far been inconclusive at pointing to any corrupted files.

I've also swapped ports that the pc's use on the router without any noticeable change, and have powered-down both the pc and router completely to eliminate issues caused by power glitches.

Are there any browsers on Debian that support javascript without having to run under the X window system?

Any other suggestions welcome.
