Hi SysKoll,
I am not sure I understand your results.
yes, you did.
Let me summarize: yuo boot a machine under Ubuntu, browser our site with Firefox, and the router freezes. Is that correct?
Yes, I would describe it that way.
The router has LEDs, that are flashing in the rhythm of flowing data, okay?
There is one for the Internet up link and one for the LAN down link and two for the VoIP channels.
In normal case the LEDs are flickering, and if they are continuously lightning, there is no flux. Don't you think so?
Furthermore I have a proxy, which shows me, what file is actually loaded from Internet, respectively, which request is send, till it is answered. That proxy shows, that the flux is stopped. And it continues, when it is released.
If it is necessary, I could make a Wireshark capture available ... ? should I ? *g*
If scripts (I think some special scripts) are unblocked, at some regular sites (not only spamgourmet) this flux jerks to a stop (and I can reach no further web address) and after a regular timeout, the router reboots automatically (a well-known process, all LEDs are off, the yellow hook lights up, the Internet LED is flashing yellow, then green, then the other LEDs are coming up).
I can reduce the time of waiting, if I pull the power plug, wait a second and push it in. Then, the router boots promptly.
The sites are completely respectable sites like n-tv (news), PC-Welt (PC magazine), TV-info (TV program) and some else.
It happens irrespective of the operating system or the browser. Only the blocking of unwanted contents (scripts or advertising graphics) helps. REALLY!!
And all the blocking methods, that I found for Internet Explorer, did not work. Only "No Script" and "Ad Block Plus" in combination and they are only available for Firefox.
You may see no coherence, but I can reproduce it with Ubuntu, and Windows XP Pro, with Internet Explorer 6 and 7, and with Firefox 2.0.0.11.
The fault appears not immediately at the start pages, but if I change that sites a few times. I.e.,
? if I am editing some addresses in spamgourmet.com (set the number of passing mails or so);
? if I am showing the detail information of some broadcasts in tvinfo.de;
? if I am studying articles at pcwelt.de or n-tv.de; ...
I am nosy for myself about the function of that phenomenon.
But anyway, I am not trusting to Google ... *g*
And for your notice: I have a very continuously working 16 Mbit downstream cable connection. The ISP can not be the reason, I think.
Many regards,
Karl-Egon
