It's a configuration property so the file system you see it in is showing
the state of the running system and is not persistent. You can set it and
all sorts of other goodies in /etc/sysctl.conf

Connect to multiple sites, if only one shows the problem you know who to
blame, if they all do then start your end, if some do then its more fun
but that rarely is the case.

Usually its a broken firewall or NAT box.
