Thank you,

The problem I have been having is with failure to load certain web sites
with a "connection reset by server" error.  Seems it does not happen at
random and only occurs with certain websites.

When I saw this message in the logs, I though perhaps since it is
related to networking and my wlan0 interface is my wifi networking
interface it was giving me a clue to this problem.
