This is not the case. Please read: http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;EN-US;q316666 The last paragraph could not be more clear on this. Much more likely is that the Gentoo (Linux) TCP Window sizing is more aggressive and/or the Windows app/stack does not do the same. The OP should ensure that window sizing is turned on (might be off) and bump up the initial window size. -h
