Thanks, your suggestion cuts off that potential problem.

    I have SuSE 9.1 on the Internet laptop.  Sure enough,

    sysctl net.ipv4.tcp_timestamps
    net.ipv4.tcp_timestamps = 1

    I set it to zero via sysctl, but it didn't survive a reboot.  SuSE 
doesn't use a sysctl.conf file, so I will set it via sysctl for now and 
try to test a sysctl.conf file the next time I intend to reboot.
