I have a 2 machine network setup at home. One being my firewall/gateway, the other being my desktop system. My gateway has two interfaces: 1 - Connection to the Internet via a 56k USR modem - 203.36.3.13 2 - Connection to the Desktop system via a 10Mbps Ethernet Card - 192.168.1.1 - The desktop system has the IP address 192.168.1.2. - The gateway machine is Masquerading all Local net traffic to the Internet using ipfwadm. The problem I have, is whenever I do a FTP from the desktop system to the Internet and do a transfer of a file over 1.6MB, the transfer ends, but I don't get returned to a ftp> prompt. Can anyone help with this problem?
