Can't create TCP connections to certain IP addresses

I'm sending this again as I didn't receive any responses before and 
the problem persists as of yesterday's CURRENT.  Just let me know 
what other debug info I need to provide.

	This has been happening for a while, I just don't remember when it 
started (it's been happening for at least a couple of months now), 
but I know everything was working in April.  I'm trying to debug a 
strange problem I'm having with my -CURRENT system.  I can not 
connect to certain IP addresses.  I can connect to 
am-productions.biz, but not slashdot.org, etc.  When the connection 
can't be made I see the state as SYN_SENT (via netstat).  This isn't 
a DNS issue  since I can resolve and ping the sites.
	I've tried other on other networks just in case it was a problem with 
my network, but the same thing happens there too.  This is using an 
rl NIC in my laptop.  Using the ath wireless leads to the same 
results as the rl.
	Connecting to the cvsup server that I'm using does work, so I can 
update easily.
	I've linked to various information.  If there is some more 
information I need to provide let me know.

	tcpdump.txt contains a failed connection.  tcpdump-good.txt contains 
a succeeded connection.
