Try this (if you have not already): $IPTABLES --table mangle -A PREROUTING -j TOS --set-tos Normal-Service This will force all packets to have the same queueing priority. I know that different linux services will set the priority to different things - like max throughput for ftp. It is just possible that linux is setting these bits and windows XP is not, and maybe a router downstream (at your ISP) is queueing them accordingly. Long shot, and probably won't work, but worth trying. I ended up using this as well to make sure it all worked: $IPTABLES --append FORWARD -p tcp --tcp-flags SYN,RST SYN -j TCPMSS --clamp-mss-to-pmtu --Yan -- Famous first words: My, my, my, my, my!
