our connections keep dropping, am going through a linksys
router with spi and firewall, would this slow down the
packets enought to cause drops?
 
I would begin with activating wan optimisation and keepalive on the server,
by setting:

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\Tcpip\Parameters]
"TcpMaxDataRetransmissions"=dword:0000000a

And:

[KEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\Tcpip\Parameters]
"KeepAliveTime"=dword:0000ea60
"KeepAliveInterval"=dword:000003e8

If that does not help, tweak the mtu a bit, so the router likes it better:

HKLM\system\currentcontrolset\services\tcpip\parameters\interfaces\"ID for
Adapter"

Add a dword value MTU with a value of 1492 decimal

(Default MTU for ethernet = 1500, for DSL = 1492, dial-up = 576)


NT/2000:

Network MTU(Bytes)
-----------------------------------
16 Mbit/Sec Token Ring 17914
4 Mbits/Sec Token Ring 4464
FDDI 4352
Ethernet 1500
IEEE 802.3/802.2 1492
X.25 576


windows XP:

16 Mbps Token Ring 17914
4 Mbps Token Ring 4464
FDDI 4352
Ethernet 1500
IEEE 802.3/802.2 1492
