Dear Everyone,
I have been struggling with various things in Statler and managed to find a solution for most of my problems but here I am very confused and admittedly getting quite frustrated. I would be very grateful if someone can give me some pointers to solve this. Here is the situation:
I have a wired PPPoE internet connection and my DNS settings seem OK by the output of cat /etc/resolv.conf.
Still, some pages won't load or are very slow and it seems to affect mostly secure connection pages (for example https://chrome.google.com/extensions?hl=en-US) and the weirdest is that it is not consistent at all. It seems neither time specific (I can access the previous example from iceweasel but not from chrome at the same time) and nor browser specific (I get this issue on both browsers). Some pages are not affected at all (#! forums always load very well for example ).
Also, Dropbox doesn't download my files. I am getting no error messages, hovering the mouse over the dropbox icon shows "downloading..." but the files are actually not being downloaded.
I am very confused about this, I would have tried Wicd but it doesn't support PPPoE. Anyone has an idea of what might be the problem?
By the way, despite this issue I am loving #! and glad to have switched from Ubuntu!

I realized that by using anonymouse.org I could access http://sourceforge.net/projects/guayadeque/ , a page that I cannot access directly. I don't know if it would work for encrypted pages as anonymouse doesn't let you access those in their free version. Does that mean that it is a proxy setting problem? Or is it a DNS one? Does anyone know how to further investigate that?
Any help would be very appreciated!

Thank you anyway for describing the problem, solving it and reporting back with a solution. The next poor dwarf will be happy.
I'm so meta, even this acronym
