If ICMP is squelched, that would break Path MTU Discovery. If you have an MTU restriction somewhere, then you'd get connections that exhibit the sorts of symptoms you're seeing. (MTU problems are particularly associated with DSL lines in the US, as those providers unfortunately tend to use PPPoE.) Try setting your MTU down a bit (if it's 1500, try 1492 or lower). -- James Carlson, Solaris Networking <james.d.carlson at sun.com> Sun Microsystems / 35 Network Drive 71.232W Vox +1 781 442 2084 MS UBUR02-212 / Burlington MA 01803-2757 42.496N Fax +1 781 442 1677
