Does ifconfig show dropped packets/errors?
Is the mtu the same on MSWindows and Linux host and router?
MSWindows can corrupt its TCP/IP stack, or if you try to modify its parameters
too much (size of receive/send window et al) things could go wrong. There is
some Microsoft fix file for this (I recall one available for WinXP at least)
which resets the stack to its default values.
On the odd occasion I had to stop/start an MSWindows connection which would
not come up on boot up, but this hasn't happened for quite some time now. It
might have been dodgy firmware on my router; I don' know and never found out
what was the cause of it, because it only happened a few times.
