I'm unfamiliar with this issue but from readings on this list, but this might be an ECN issue. search the archives for more info/explanation on it. The quick answer is that you want to turn off ecn with a command like this (as root): echo 0 > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/tcp_ecn If that works, make the change permanent by adding that line to /etc/init.d/networking, like this: case "$1" in start) doopt spoofprotect yes doopt syncookies no doopt ip_forward no echo 0 > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/tcp_ecn echo -n "Configuring network interfaces: " ifup -a echo "done." ;; If the first command doesn't work in the first place, then I'm afraid I can't help you further right now; you'll have to wait for someone more knowledgeable to respond. -- Vineet http://www.anti-dmca.org Unauthorized use of this .sig may constitute violation of US law. echo Qba\'g gernq ba zr\! |tr 'a-zA-Z' 'n-za-mN-ZA-M'
