Are you running a 2.4 kernel? If so, it wasn't IPv6, it was ECN (explicit congestion notification), which was an added feature in 2.4 and is (I think) turned on by default. If so, echo 0 >/proc/sys/net/ipv4/tcp_ecn should take care of the problem for you. If not, someone else will have to come up with the solution because that's all I remember about it. -- Stephen Ryan Debian GNU/Linux Technology Coordinator Center for Educational Outcomes at Dartmouth College ********************************************************** To unsubscribe from this list, send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the following text in the *body* (*not* the subject line) of the letter: unsubscribe gnhlug **********************************************************
