a linksys huh..?

search for startup script for ur linksys. the IP buffer is overloaded due to long timeout due to the huge number of IP connection a p2p program (BT for instance) would trigger, hence making ur web browsing paralysed.

consider flashing ur linksys to HyperWRT, so as to add the functionally of startup script. HyperWRT is an open-source 3rd party firmware for ur Linksys. and no worries as u can practically reflash ur linksys back to the stock firmware which u can find back in linksys's homepage for warranty claiming if so needed.

a sample startup is as below, set this to ur router's startup script:

echo 4096 > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_conntrack_max
echo 1 > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/icmp_echo_ignore_broadcasts
echo 1 > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/icmp_ignore_bogus_error_responses
echo 512 > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/neigh/default/gc_thresh1
echo 2048 > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/neigh/default/gc_thresh2
echo 4096 > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/neigh/default/gc_thresh3
echo "600 1800 120 60 120 120 10 60 30 120" > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_conntrack_tcp_timeouts

the limited half-open connection is irrelevant to ur problem as u r using win2k, only winxp SP2 would have the 10 half-open connection limitation.
