This seem to indicate that the problem is with the interaction between the TCP stack on Linux and the firewall in question. I tried to google for anything related, assuming the firewall is firewall-1, but found nothing that seemed relevant. Given that this problem do not seem to affect all Firewall-1 owners, I suspect the problem must be in the configuration at your site. I remember a similar problem affecting a school once, where the transparent HTTP proxy were unable to handle unix line endings in HTTP headers, and simply refused to let such normal Linux requests true. Could it be similar? Does the problem only affect port 80, or is it any port? Do you see the same problem with 'tcptraceroute www.skolelinux.org ssh', for example?
