Are you running Ident on the IPCop? When we get a dead S.L.O.W. internet connection like that, it usually ends up being a problem between Windows firewall and our IPCop. In XP, enabling the Ident 113 port as an exception usually solves it, but the Windows 7 firewall is a lot more robust. I've usually ended up disabling the windows firewall "for domain networks" altogether ... hoping I'll have time later on to work out the details that will allow it to run.
