What version kernel is this? Might be an ECN thing. How do pings seem to
be working?

If it's a 2.4.x kernel, check if ECN is enabled like this:

cat /proc/sys/net/ipv4/tcp_ecn

or

sysctl net.ipv4.tcp_ecn

If you get a 1, it's enabled. Your upstream router could be buggy,
dropping all packets with the ECN bit set. To disable it, use one of
these:

echo "0" > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/tcp_ecn

or

sysctl -w net.ipv4.tcp_ecn=0

If that works, you might want to make the change permanent by adding a
line like this to /etc/sysctl.conf:

net.ipv4.tcp_ecn=0

good times,
