I first experienced this on a _wired_ connection between my laptop
and desktop when I went from 1.5 to 1.6. I think that the problem
was in the IRQ routing in the laptop in some shape or form.
I ultimately "fixed" the problem by just putting everything up with
httpd, since nobody had any idea as to why this would happen. :-/
