Sometimes I see broken setups: a www server that has path MTU discovery on
with a packet filter just before it that filters ot icmp messages to the
server. If you want to get pages from such a system and anything between
you and that system has a smaller MTU than the servers MTU you're toast.

If you are behind a low(er) MTU leased line you can try and set the MTU
large enough and see if the problem persists.
