Yes I run ipfw. I set it from rc.conf as open. I have been playing around some
more and I have out a few more things. I don't have to restart dhclient. It's
reliably caused by trying to downlaod a file in gtk-gnutella. It'll go for a
bit and then a whole bunch of fin's are sent and the connection hangs. ethereal
shows my comp trying to ping, do dns queries etc but nothing comes in and
nothing gets out.

Doing a killall dhclient doesn't work for me, I have to unconnect and reconnect
my cable modem. 

I also am not sure if its my isp( shaw cable). I have had this before several
months ago routing a windows 2000 box through this one. When I got shaw to check
it out they said their end was fine and that my modem was fine.

Any other suggestions??

Sincerly,
Chris Moline
