This is starting to really annoy me. My laptop wireless refuses to properly talk to the wireless router. But where the problem is completely beats me. Certain web sites, such as google, work no problem. Other web sites, notably LJ, work for a bit and then resolutely refuse to work for ages, even though the rest of the web is working just fine.
This has me perplexed. Anybody have any pointers as to how to find out what's going wrong?
Edit: will try advice given here

If you get server timeouts, could there be a routing problem, such as the router being over-zealous in its firewalling and blocking ICMP packets? I don't know if it's still the case, but from what I understand some products block ICMP Don't Fragment packets which can cause failures with some sites but not others. I don't know if would cause a certain site to work some of the time but not others, though.
If you can't figure it out, the next step is probably to get some tcpdump files and try and figure out what part of the connection is breaking.

...actually, my desktop (which I have just had to move to right now) used to have the same problem, but now doesn't.
I'm stumped.
