Not sure if this is the solution to the problem but try this.
# /sbin/sysctl -a | grep tcp_window
net.ipv4.tcp_window_scaling = 1
# /sbin/sysctl -e net.ipv4.tcp_window_scaling=0
Essentially the TCP Window scaling is being changed from 1 to 0. As i
said, i am not sure if this is the real problem. But, give it a try as
some routers do not work well with Linux.

I asked this before but let me ask it again in a different way. I have
two machines of my home lan. When I ping the lan router 5 ping cycles
take essentially the smae time. I am pinging to a 1p address.
I can ping an external internet address and the pings take essentially
the same time.
However, I ask one of the machines to get content through a browser
things grind to a halt. The same thing happens when I do a yum operation
on one of the machines. The other works normally. Asdkong the browser to
load the web page throm the router is a long slow process.
Both machines show about the same load in top. Both machines worked up
to last Friday when I tried to do a yum update but nothing was ever
installed since the process slowed to a stop.
I am stumped. What could have gone wrong to result in this behavior. I
considered the NIC failed but the pings seem to rule that out.
Any one have any things to try to identify the problem?
