Hi, This is still happening. I ran the same set of tests on a totally different network, with my xircom realport ethernet card (tulip driver - 16bit) and from linux to linux and windows to linux. Scrolling through a message in mutt eventually slows down and if I lift my finger off the enter key whilst it's slow the scrolling keeps going, as if it was all bufferd. If I do a pingflood (ping -f) from a machine to my laptop it's all fine. I am also now running 2.6.9-rc1-mm4.
Have you tried FAQ: echo 0 > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/tcp_window_scaling - Arnaldo
