I've been suffering a lot of network connections trying to access LinkedIn site from my home. In fact, I couldn't access services as accept invitations and change my profile.
After sending an email to them, they answer me a long email with a conclusion: to connect to LinkedIn the mtu (maximun transmit unit) must be lower than usual. It seems it's a scale problem they haven't solved. A practical reference value is 1360. So, the Linux way to solve the problem is this:
sudo ifconfig eth0 mtu 1360
Where eth0 is the name of the card device (wifi is wlan0, i.e.) and 1360 is an acceptable mtu value for my connection. In distros like Fedora, maybe you have to login as root in console with "su -" or similar.
