Strange Tomtom.com issue

Hi,

I have a strange issue with my netbook. I use a free wifi hotspot to connect to the Internet, and it went well until I tried to connect to www.tomtom.com. The website won't open. When I use another PC connected to the same hotspot, it just opens fine and quickly. When I retry several times on the netbook, it sometimes load the home page after 30 trials or so.

I have tried every single browser : Opera, Chrome, K-Meleon, IE, and they all refuse to load properly www.tomtom.com.

Chrome does specify some error message :
Error 324 (net::ERR_EMPTY_RESPONSE): The server closed the connection without sending any data.

Any hint on where I should look to solve this ?

BTW, I have reinstalled Java & Flash, just in case... No effect.

Thanks for any help.

 

can you connect to that site from some other place (other than that hotspot)?

 

Yes, sorry, forgot to tell that. All other websites I have tried do work fine, including Wilders...

 

I meant if you can access tomtom.com from another hotpoint (maybe there is an issue with current one). In any case did you try accessing the site via its ip address 85.90.77.41

 

Thanks. I cannot test that (from another hotspot) before a few days. When I try to connect to the direct ip address you mentioned, I get the same result.

Error 324 (net::ERR_EMPTY_RESPONSE): The server closed the connection without sending any data.

Ping from a cmd windows does work though :

Same if I ping www.tomtom.com

 

After removing all network components of Avast and optimized my IP connection with the free Ashampoo Optimizer3, it works now !

Since I did both fixes, I don't know which one worked, but anyway, it seems fixed now.

Thanks !
