debian sarge & new kernel => weird internet problem


hey there,

this ist becoming a real pain in the a** for me because i can't seemt o find help anywhere and all threads and suggestions i found so far don't seem to work - anyhow, my problem looks a bit odd to me though...

i have a small network that connects to the internet through a linux server.
i used to run debian woody on it and it was pretty stable and ran quite good. because of a new harddisc (160GB) i needed to update that system, since the old kernel was not able to address the disc properly.
so i decided to install debian sarge (with kernel 2.6.7-1) and further, i compiled a new kernel: 2.6.8 because i wanted to encrypt that disc too and i needed to reconfigure the kernel for that. anway...

my problem now ist, that some websites don't work anymore or load EXTREME slow (couple of minutes or even more). i know that topic was brought up before 10000000 times, but the funny thing is though, that if i traceroute those websites, everything seems to work fine but it never reaches those websites (though it leaves my network properly). here an example with amazon: the site won't load at all

Code:
D:\>tracert amazon.de

Tracing route to  amazon.de [207.171.170.18]

if i however don't use that server but connect my pc to my old d-link router, the route is exactly the same, it stops at exactly the same server, but the website is loaded very fast:

i tried both opera 7.53 and IE.
my current setup looks like this:
the server has to nics: eth0 connects to the dsl model, eth1 connects to the internal network. i am using roaring penguin 3.5 (comes along with debian). i tried changing the mtu to 1492 in both pppoe and eth1: nothing changed. i compiled a new kernel 2.6.7 without ipv6: nothing changed. i tried disabling ipv6 in /etc/modules.conf and restarted: nothing changed.
something seems pretty weird and i just can'T figure it out! please, can somebody help me with this? i am not very familiar to networking and after three days of trial-and-error it really starts to suck :-(
the funny thing is that some sites work really good though.
why does it work with the dlink router and not with the server?
