Until recently, everything was nice and dandy, but starting from a few weeks<br>
ago (about two months I think) Firefox started to report something like "The<br>
connection was interrupted why loading the page. Press the button to try<br>
again." and the button then proceeds to load the page. Furthermore, urpmi (the<br>
Mandriva networked package installer) sometimes reports that it cannot find<br>
packages on <a href="http://mirror.isoc.org.il" target="_blank">mirror.isoc.org.il</a>, only to find them later upon a retry.<br>
<br>
Another possible hint is that using svn checkout on http-based <a href="http://svn.berlios.de" target="_blank">svn.berlios.de</a><br>
URLs such as <a href="http://svn.berlios.de/svnroot/repos/fc-solve/trunk/" target="_blank">http://svn.berlios.de/svnroot/repos/fc-solve/trunk/</a> has been<br>
taking a lot of time on the WinXP machine (also connected via Ethernet), while<br>
using the https:// URLs was OK.<br>
<br>
I've also had a case of wget -c restarting a file transfer from the beginning<br>
because it could not continue it from where it ended on a halted transfer.<br>
</blockquote><div><br>I know this might sound weird, but I would try to reduce the MTU to 1400 or even 1300 and see if it helps. Start with tehe Linux as it's much simpler than in Windows: <br><br>/sbin/ifconfig eth0 mtu 1400<br>
