    You might want to check to see if TCP_ECN (Explicit Congestion
    Notification) is enabled. Many of the later Linux 2.4.x kernels enable
    it automatically if it's compiled in (I don't know if this is still the
    case or not), and some OSes simply refuse all connections whose SYN
    packets are marked this way.

    I wouldn't be terribly surprised if the a recent version of IE6 changed
    the default TCP settings to make Windows not work with it.

    The simple way to check is:

    cat /proc/sys/net/ipv4/tcp_ecn

    If it's a "1", then it's enabled, if "0" or you get a file not found, that
    isn't the problem.
