Hello-

I'm having some odd trouble, and I just cannot figure out what is going
on.  The problem is that when I try to connect to my provider's nntp
server, I am able to connect, and send some commands (like authinfo
information), but if I request any amount of data ("list active" for
example) it never gets to my machine; the connection just seems to hang.
I am using user ppp to connect to my provider.

What makes this interesting is that if I reboot the machine to Win95, I 
have no problems connecting to that nntp server via telnet or a 
newsreader.

To make things really interesting, I am using the -alias function of 
the ppp server, and the other machine on my little home network has 
absolutely no trouble whatsoever connecting to that nntp server and 
grabbing data.

Obviously, I suspect some weird configuration problem on my end, but I 
can think what would do this.  I have tried doing this with the 
TCP_EXTENSIONS on and off.

I would really appreciate any pointers.

My system:

FreeBSD ylana.gte.net 3.0-CURRENT FreeBSD 3.0-CURRENT #0: Sun Oct  5
12:04:01 EST 1997     bhlewis@ylana.gte.net:/usr/src/sys/compile/YLANA
i386

The sources are current as of last night, and a make world completed 
this morning.

I'll include various network-related configuration files below.

-Ben
