That makes sense to me, but why is it only a very few web sites? I haven't heard complaints about poor wikipedia access, so it appears that most other people don't have problems with that either. One idea I thought of is that maybe they have very tight timeout limits, and since I am on dialup, I often exceed those limits and they then drop packets. I have heard about a couple things(ECN and SACK?) that can cause problems with some sites, but I think I already have disabled them in the sysctl.conf settings I included in my original message. Any idea how I could trace something like dropped packets? Looking for the absence of something can be very difficult if I don't know what I should be looking for.
