Hi Antony,
What you might be having problems with is explicit
congestion notification. Try this to see if your
kernel supports it and has it activated
cat /proc/net/ipv4/tcp_ecn
if it returns a 1 then its activated.
Do an
echo 0 >/proc/net/ipv4/tcp_ecn
to turn off the ecn bits then try your browser again.
Try it without the junkbuster proxy first.
I've been using the latest pretest kernels 2.4-test9-pre(2-5)
and ppp-2.4.0-2mdk and this works for me. I don'tknow
if the latest cooker 2.4 hackkernels have ecn activated
in them so it might not be your problem, but give it a try
anyway.
