Really weird networking problem
Okay this is a really weird problem so bear with me. The internet connection works but I am having a problem with my FTP at www.gfboards.net. I am uploading files for my (new) website and the FTP keeps timing out after a few minutes.
1. When connecting through my netgear P614v3 router. I have this problem on Ubuntu Linux and in Windows.
2. When connecting directly to the cable modem, the tracert under Windows shows no problems. However, Ubuntu still has issues
So the only configuration that will work is Windows when I bypass the router and connect directly to the modem. I use the router to split my broadband connection to three other computers so just directly connecting mine isn't an option. It looks like a router problem but if it was just the router then why does Ubuntu still have problems without it? Also, what can I do to fix the problem? Are there any settings in the router that I should look at?
I have included traceroute (for Ubuntu) and tracert (for XP) outputs below. Any help would be most greatly appreciated.
Okay let's start with Windows connecting directly to the modem. This is the only configuration that appears to work well.
Now here's Ubuntu when directly connected:

How would I do that?
4.2.2.1
4.2.2.2
4.2.2.3
for DNS servers if you're in the US.
Well how would I do it on Windows?
