It is my understanding that Microsofts IP stack does not like packet
fragmentation. By default, MTU on 95 and NT is 8k. I think if you adjust
Linux to the same MTU, you may see some improvement. I am no expert, but we
are experiencing problems on our company LAN of 5000 seats. This MTU issue
was relayed to me by our WAN support area. It might cause the problem you
describe.
