Tim Kossack asked:
hm, i followed michael's advice (thank you very much) and at least my laptop is working now when i turn off ECN. however, it seems that i have to newly turn it off every time i reboot-is this normal? is there a way to switch it off forever?
Add the following line to /etc/sysctl.conf net.ipv4.tcp_ecn = 1
RHL/Fedora reads this file on every startup and adjusts settings accordingly. If you make changes to /etc/sysctl.conf, you can run `sysctl -p` to force the system to re-read the file without a reboot.
As root you can run `sysctl -a | less` to read all about the other settings available through this cool facility (such as for firewalls, etc.). I prefer this as opposed to echoing to proc, but it may not be portable to other flavors of Linux. sysctl.conf settings take effect earlier than they would if placed in rc.local.

sorry, it should be net.ipv4.tcp_en=0 to disable.
