Well, this _is_ a problem, no? The whole point of NAT is that it's supposed to allow arbitrary connections through your gateway, and once HTTP fails, you can't tell what else might also go wrong.

I used a setting of 1400 and everything now works the way I expect. Dermot To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-net" in the body of the message
