Apache won't accept more than 2 connections / IP

Hi,

If I begin downloading two files from an Apache 1.3 server to a single client, Apache will not accept additional connections from the client. I can, however, create three or more connections from the same client via SSH to that machine, or connect via SSH while Apache is downloading the files. I can also create additional Apache connections from other clients -- but it won't accept more than two connections per client.

Apache is running on Debian Sarge, 3.1 i386

This is the top of httpd.conf:

Code:

ServerType standalone

ServerRoot /etc/apache

LockFile /var/lock/apache.lock

PidFile /var/run/apache.pid

ScoreBoardFile /var/run/apache.scoreboard

Timeout 300

KeepAlive On

MaxKeepAliveRequests 100

KeepAliveTimeout 15

MinSpareServers 5

MaxSpareServers 10

StartServers 5

MaxClients 150

MaxRequestsPerChild 100

Include /etc/apache/modules.conf

<IfModule mod_status.c>

  ExtendedStatus On

</IfModule>

Port 80

User www-data

Group www-data

I've scanned the doc's and the config file but can't find anything.

Suggestions?

This might actually be a setting in your clients browser, not your apache server.

Thank you for your response.

The browser can establish multiple connections from another server on the internet, so I don't believe it's the browser. Plus I've tried two different browsers (IE and Mozilla) with similar results.

Additional info:
- iptables is not used
- netstat shows apache as listening when the connections are not accepted
- it was tested on an simple LAN with a hub between the server and clients, no router/firewall
