If I install kernel-image 2.4.24 via apt (the most current available from

However, inbound connectivity is fine. This made my head hurt, so I moved
onto Plan B: The Reinstall.
The network connectivity problems you are experiencing are probably due
to ecn (Explicit Congenstion Notification) being on. On my sparc box
this seems to be the default. on i386 I don't get this problem.
I am running 2.4.24-sparc64
All you need to do is:
echo "0" > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/tcp_ecn
