One more thing: I noticed these message appearing in dmesg:

Don't know if this is cause/effect or simply a coincidence.  Still 
googling to figure out what this means.  From what I can tell so far, 
this has something to do with an old TCP stack, which seems strange 
given that the kernels on both boxes are 2.4.8 or later.
