The past week I've been experiencing some weird problems trying to upload data to 
various sites and send emails. It 
seems FTP always stalls after 16384 bytes, and CVS seems to behave similarly, stalling 
after only a few sent packets 
and waiting several minutes before its connection times out. Also having similar 
problems with emails, the difference 
being they are much less than 16K, but the problem seems the same. I'm guessing that 
only TCP streams are 
affected as UDP packets seem to make it out just fine (extensive testing in Enemy 
Territory confirms this). Individual 
streams seem to behave independently, and downloads are unaffected by this problem and 
are working fine. I'm not 
running a firewall (at least, I'm pretty sure I'm not). I have no clue what's causing 
this, but it appears to be something 
specific to Sid since it doesn't happen in my Win98 partition (it's for games, sue me 
;-) ), and it only started 
happening within the past week or two. 
 
I'm at a loss how to continue to diagnose this. Any ideas or tips would be greatly 
appreciated. I'm not on the list, 
please CC me. 
 
Running kernel 2.6.8 compiled from deb source package, connecting through 56k modem. 
If you think any other 
system info might help I'd be glad to share it. 
 
Thanks, 
Brendon Higgins
