    It has to be some configuration issue, I'm thinking. I am getting really
    lousy network performance, particularly evidenced when using Firefox to
    the Internet. I have followed the information I could find in FAQ'd etc
    and changed my /etc/sysctl.conf file:

    # Kernel sysctl configuration file for Red Hat Linux
    #
    # For binary values, 0 is disabled, 1 is enabled. See sysctl(8) and
    # sysctl.conf(5) for more details.

    # Controls IP packet forwarding
    net.ipv4.ip_forward = 0

    # Controls source route verification
    # change to off
    net.ipv4.conf.default.rp_filter = 0

    # Do not accept source routing
    net.ipv4.conf.default.accept_source_route = 0

    # Controls the System Request debugging functionality of the kernel
    kernel.sysrq = 0

    # Controls whether core dumps will append the PID to the core filename.
    # Useful for debugging multi-threaded applications.
    kernel.core_uses_pid = 1

    # Controls the use of TCP syncookies
    # change to off
    net.ipv4.tcp_syncookies = 0

    #-------- Start /etc/sysctl.conf additions ------
    # Disable TCP ECN which some routers and servers cannot handle.
    net.ipv4.tcp_ecn = 0

    # Disable TCP window scaling which some routers and firewalls cannot
    handle.
    net.ipv4.tcp_window_scaling = 0

    But still little improvement. This is on a 2.8 GHz machine with lots of
    memory and a 15Mbs FIOS connection to the Internet. Other machines
    (windows of all things) are very snappy, in communicating with the
    Internet.

    Any help would be most appreciated

    Thanks
    Peter
