Strange network problem

I've been having a slow connection for the past week or so despite the fact that I've tried speed tests and I get full speeds. I also cannot connect to Yahoo messenger, through Pidgin or the online client.

I figured this was an issue with Comcast, but it turns out my other PCs are fine.

Running 64 bit Arch, 2.6.29, completely up to date.

DNS seems fine.

Don't know what other information to provide, thanks for any help.

Re: Strange network problem

Try disabling ipv6 or adding

echo 0 > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/tcp_window_scaling

to your /etc/rc.local
