I too am having this problem. I built this machine at work, where I
connect via switch and firewall to a T1. I moved the machine home where
I connect via a Linksys router to wireless broadband. Here are the
results of your suggested tests:

Both Evolution and Firefox are painfully slow, and take forever to do
anything. There do seem to be a lot of errors occurring on the
connection. I'm not sure what to make of the second command response.
How can this be fixed?
