Hello!
Your problem may be that ECN (Explicit Congestion Notification,
INET_ECN) is turned on in your kernel, which has been known to break
buggy routers, including those from Cisco/Linksys:
From the kernel help:
"Note that, on the Internet, there
are many broken firewalls which
refuse connections from ECN-enabled machines, and it may be a while
before these firewalls are fixed. Until then, to access a site
behind such a firewall (some of which are major sites, at the time
of this writing) you will have to disable this option, either by
saying N now or by using the sysctl."
You can use the sysctl to disable it at runtime, which I believe is (as
root):
echo "0" >/proc/sys/net/ipv4/tcp_ecn
You can also turn it off in the kernel config at build time. In the
menuconfig utility, it's available under Device Drivers --> Networking
--> Networking Options --> TCP Explicit Congestion Notification Report
support.
A firmware upgrade to your Linksys may help, too...
Let us know what how it works out! :)
Good luck!

Since using the 2.6 kernels, it seems I have problems accessing my

Anyone heard of this as of yet? Am going to talk with Linksys tech
support but wanted to try this first to see if anyone had any ideas or
suggestions.
