Page Load Error - network link interrupted while negotiaiting a connection.

Hi all
I have a problem in accessing certain sites in either IE or Firefox. I get "The network link was interrupted while negotiating a connection. Please try again" in FF.  This affects all the computers at home - ie on the same router, yet at work - also using Plus as ISP the pages load OK. This has happened for months now.
I can ping the sites OK and tracert seems to get through OK. I have tried stopping AVG/ Win firewall / Plus firewall / router NAT / clearing cache (at separate times - not all together!) but cannot get the affected sites to work consistently. Both the sites giving problems are hosted by the same ISP (streamline.net).
Does anyone have any suggestions?
Thanks

Hiya - Could you possibly run a traceroute to one of the affected sites and let us see what it looks like?

Sadly not!
Both traceroutes looks absolutely fine!

Re: Page Load Error - network link interrupted while negotiaiting a connection.

Are there any other things I could check? The router is a BT Voyager 2100. It feels like a firewall issue somewhere along the line, but as you see the tracer looks good.
In hope...

Hi
In case this helps anyone else, I have now solved the problem with help from PlusNet.
I raised a ticket and the suggestion came back that it could be a problem with the MTU setting on the router. They referred me to: http://www.kitz.co.uk/adsl/MTU.htm where there is a clear discussion of what the problem might be.
I changed the MTU setting of the router to 1500 and all is now well.
Thanks PlusNet!
Roger
