There is no rate limiting that I am aware of. I am using pmfirewall.
All other hosts work fine (including this one when in Windows!).
Now, this host can access the Lan without problem. I can SSH and scp
all I want without problem. However, once I need to go out to the
Internet stuff stops working. Only a few packets will go through, and
then the connection stalls.
