My first question is, what kind of router are you using, and does the
problem go away (for a short time or a long time) if you reset the
router?  I am assuming a consumer-type router.

Sometimes a lot of connections can overload consumer routers, this has
definitely happened to mine with both Tor and Bittorrent.

* The router can become overloaded and respond slowly or drop packets
* The connection table can fill up, allowing existing connections to
  work fine, but new connections fail intermittently (web pages half
  load, DNS gets weird, etc)

Some versions of Windows limited # of connections per second or
something like that, where as Linux does not.

Aside from all the logs and config settings the other people on the
list asked for - what make and model of router are you using, and are
you running anything like OpenWRT, DD-WRT, Tomato on it?

Best,
- -Gordon M.
