I read many months ago that some others having this problem solved it by disabling RFC1323 extensions (default is on), which is a little odd, but it worked for a couple people. Try doing "sysctl net.inet.tcp.rfc1323=0" and see if the problem goes away. If it does, put tcp_extensions="no" in /etc/rc.conf. I can't reproduce this behaviour, though, on my own setup at home (using em(4) gigE NICs on the BSD box, and Broadcom BCM47xx 10/100 NICs on the Linux box (a WRT54GL). -- | Jeremy Chadwick jdc at parodius.com | | Parodius Networking http://www.parodius.com/ | | UNIX Systems Administrator Mountain View, CA, USA | | Making life hard for others since 1977.
