or remove ecn from your kernel compile.
Several people have made this suggestion.
However ECN has never been part of my kernel
(hence /proc/sys/net/ipv4/tcp-ecn does not exist.
Thanks, anyway, for your suggestion.

It concerns the behaviour of Netscape after upgrading from kernel 2.2.16 to 2.4.0. With the new kernel Netscape locates and connects to a URL, and sometimes begins to download, but then it just sits there indefinitely (without downloading any data). This happens quite consistently since I upgraded to 2.4.0 (about 2 weeks ago). ppp, telnet, ftp all function satisfactorily as far as I can determine (however that's not to say that the problem doesn't originate with ppp in the kernel). There are a few packet errors (about 1 per 1000). Netscape continues to function well with Linux kernel 2.2.16 -- but not with 2.4.0.

It's a known problem with Cisco PIX firewalls
