Re: 2.6.27 seems to break something with DSL

I was just going to say that Bug Nr. 11721 on bugzilla.kernel.org is
exactly my problem and is in fact resolved with the
solution/workaround presented there.

Thanks for your time

 If you haven't solved this issue yet you could try:

# echo 0 > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/tcp_timestamps

 We (Mandriva) have had some reports of this issue and it seems that
some broken routers can drop packages because of the timestamp (that's
what our local network guy has said). Disabling timestamps make it work
again.
