When this happens to me I experience "router death". I cant go anywhere through any TCP port. No web, no mail, no telnet. I can run around fine on the lan of course, and telnet into the router, but thats it. Turning off the router is the only way to unlock it. Like I said before, I am still at the stage of determining if it's my router or it's the TC box. One would think that if it was the TC box, I could simply drop both channels and reconnect, problem corrected, but I dont believe this is the case. I will post my observations later this evening. I have re-software downloaded the router once already with no effect. Like I said, this was not an issue until our last upgrade to the TC box. I will try the MTU fix. There is no option I can find for header compression on the Netgear so I will have to disable it on the arc. When I refer to compression I am referring to STAC which I believe is packet data only. I could be wrong.
STac is what I was talking about also.
That being said, the largest part of our customers problems seem to occur when they are bringing up the B2 channel. If it works, everything goes ok, if it doesnt, the packets stop until the B2 channel times out (BOD causes it to drop due to 0% utilization) and things start up once again on the B1 channel. Of course this causes a flood on the B1 which causes B2 to re-kick in and hopefully this time it gets a good connect. if not, we repeat the time-out again... When I was using BOD, this is also what I experienced. This is from Netgears, 3Com IQ modems, Pipelines, etc.
I use Ascend, 3com and Cisco to the most part, I have not seen any problems with Cisco (1000 and 760) Ascend Pipelines - 3com lan modem etc. Netgear Have not tried to get a nailed up connection but will. All the info here suggest that the problem happens only to tcp - disabling header compression - Does it help? krish
If you have a setup where the problem is currently happening send me note, will be glad to take a look at it.

I will definately keep you posted.
