hi.
lately I've been having strange problems on my internet connection.
whenever I try to access a web site, I get "server timeout", and I have to reload for the page to load. this happnes regardless of what browser I use, and at any time of the day.
also, FTP connections hang on entering passive mode.
this isn't hardware problem, because on the same computer, running Knoppix, these problems are gone.
also, this isn't network problems, as other nodes on the same network don't have there problems either.

these got me to the conclusion that it has something to do with my settings, but I don't know what to look for...
my comp is an amd 700, with 256MB ram. it is connected to a win2k comp running dhcp (the win2k is connected to the internet, and is serving as my default gateway).
no firewall is running on either comp.

any clue?
