Thanks for the help - it really turned out to be silly - My ADSL router does not like the RFC 1323 TCP Extensions - I knew it was a simple config questions - Thanks for the answers everybody

Lets give it a try... ;-)
Check the MTU size on your new machine with the MTU set on your
firewall/DSL router. I remember that I had a similar problem years
ago: The ppp-Device connecting to my ISP used a different MTU from my
LAN, so that big packets where dropped when they were received. But
the connection to the target host was opened, and small files (e.g.
index.html on some sites) were transferred successfully.
