Hi,

If you have been experiencing weird networking problems (slow downs, not
being able to connect to some site, etc) since upgrading to Linux
kernel-2.6.7. It's probably because Linux kernel-2.6.7 has exposed
problems with many firewalls and routers not handling TCP window scaling
correctly.

See the following for more details:

There is a workaround at the bottom of the page.

Cheers,
Doug
