Sorry, as I've said before I'm not familiar with the GNU/Linux 
equivalent firewall things.  Thanks for pointing out TC.

You may also want to run a netstat -ia on both machines and verify that 
there are not a bazillion connections, which might give an indication of 
a system compromise such as rootkit or botkit.  160-170ms seems awful 
high to me for such a high speed connection.
