Very strange: Cannot access any sites although connection apparently good

[Anthony Campbell <ac@acampbell.org.uk>]

I have a very strange problem.

1. If I connect via my ADSL modem everything works perfectly.

2. If I connect via my Netgear MR814 rounter and the modem everything also
appears to work (dig, ping are OK) but no web sites are accessible. The
names are resolved but at the last stage the browser (any browser) fails
to connect.

3. It is not a hardware problem because on Knoppix there are no problems
and a second computer connected to the router also works perfectly.

There must therefore be something wrong or corrupt on my desktop but I
have no idea how to find it.

Any suggestions where to look?

Anthony
