You're going to think I'm crazy...

But my issue is real. It's just very weird.
I've got LMDE installed on two machines. One as a virtual machine on a wired connection and one on a laptop ( Acer Aspire 5251-1513 ) with wireless. The problem is occurring on the laptop. It is running a triple-boot system with Win 7, Zorin 6 and LMDE. I am only experiencing the issue while in the LMDE installation. It has persisted through initial updates. Here we go:
I seem to be having issues with connectivity, but it's almost always when connecting to Google's Gmail and Reader. The pages will stall and refuse to reload, they often will load slowly or partially. This isn't always the case, sometimes the pages load without issue.
I've done the following to try to narrow down the issue:
1) Booting into another OS on the same machine to try the same page. Pages will always load successfully.
2) Speed test during problem periods. Speed tests are stable(10,000 kbps down / 4,000 kbps up)
3) Simple version of Gmail. Basic HTML page will also show problems during load.
I will have issues sometimes on other domains and dropped connections rarely while connected via FTP, so I'm wondering if maybe this OS is having an issue with my wireless setup and it just seems like it's mainly the mail and reader site because I'm on it so often.
I'm hoping for some suggestions on how I might troubleshoot this issue. I'm very much enjoying the operating system but I do need better connectivity if I'm able to use it.
Any thoughts on my issue would be greatly appreciated!
