>Description:
My home office has three systems: and Indy running IRIX 6.2, an
i586 running FreeBSD 2.2.5, and an i386 also running FreeBSD 2.2.5.
All three systems are connected via ethernet.  The i386 serves as
gateway to the internet using a 28.8K modem and the user PPP software
package configured for demand dialing.  Both the Indy and the i586
can route TCP/IP traffic through the gateway onto the Internet.
I have Netscape Communicator version 4.04 for the Indy and Netscape
Communicator version 4.05 for the i586.  Everything works fine on
both systems until I try to reach the URL "http://www.freebsd.org".
The Indy system has no problem reaching the FreeBSD web site.
However, when I try to reach the same site with the i586 running
FreeBSD 2.2.5, I get the following error from Netscape:

A network error occurred while Netscape was receiving data.
(Network Error: Connection reset by peer)

Try connecting again.

This is really strange because the Indy system less than a foot away,
using the same gateway has no problem connecting to the FreeBSD web
site.  The i586 has no problem reaching "http://www.yahoo.com",
"http://java.sun.com", or any other site (that I'm aware of).  It
just will not connect to "http://www.freebsd.org" (and that's no
good!).

I also tried using Mosaic 2.7b5 to access "http://www.freebsd.org".
I got a similar error message:

Requested document (URL http://www.freebsd.org/) could not be accessed.
The information server either is not accessible or is refusing to
serve the document to you.

The time this occured is around "Sat Apr 11 14:20:05 CDT 1998", if
you are interested in looking a log files.
