Mack: You have to get the root privileges to edit /etc/sysctl.conf. To learn about acting as root see for example: https://help.ubuntu.com/8.04/administrative/C/ https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo
I suppose you use graphical interface, so open a terminal and at the command prompt enter sudo gedit /etc/sysctl.conf Insert the new line as Eric proposed: net.ipv4.tcp_frto = 0 save the file and close the editor. To make the system recognize the change enter the command sudo /sbin/sysctl -p /etc/sysctl.conf or reboot your machine. Good luck PS.
