I attempted to view www.amazon.com both by linking and by typing it in.  Each
time I did so got the "Connection reset by peer" error page.
- I checked the amazon site with IE at the same time - no problem
- I checked that amazon cookies were enabled.
- I turned off AdSubtract to be sure it wasn't interfering.

I had not problem when connecting with Mozilla 1.1.
I'm seeing with no problem all the other sites that I normally visit, including
those with cookies.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Enter http://www.amazon.com
2.
3.

Actual Results:  
got the "Connection reset by peer" error page.

Expected Results:  
Showed Amazon.com's home page

11/30/2002 - I deleted the Amazon cookies and retried.  Now it works although I
was logged in as someone strange.

I have not had similar problems with other accounts.

This works for me although I might be misinterpreting your steps.  What do you
mean when you say "I turned off AdSubtract to be sure it wasn't interfering"? 
What is "AdSubtract"?

reporter: how are you connected to the internet?  is AdSubtract some sort of
proxy server?  if you disable AdSubtract do you still see the same error page? 
what are you mozilla proxy preference settings
(Edit->Preferences->Advanced->Proxy)?  thx!
