Sorry, could have been more specific. It's both.

Also, they have no problem when connecting to other non-FreeBSD systems on the same localnet. Kernel is generic, except that IP_FIREWALL is turned on, but no firewall rules are in place. That was the case before the problem started. I'm now getting reports that the upgrade to 4.5-STABLE on Friday may have fixed it, but I'm waiting on confirmation on that. I'll report here whatever happens.
