This hasn't happened to me since upgrading to kernel 2.0.  May I 
suggest a couple of things:  

You can watch the masq action with "ipfwadm -M -l" (little el) and 
see the port timings.  

You might try a large file transfer with ftp on you NT machine, and 
see if you have the same problem.  If you do, it's in masquerade, if 
not, it's in Netscape.

Also, activate the masq ftp module in your rc.local with 
"/sbin/modprobe ip_masq_ftp.o".

Let us know.

PS  I spaced out your patch question.  I'll get a reply to you 
tomorrow.  (If I remember correctly, go to /usr/src/linux and type 
"patch -p0 -l < ../patchfile".)  Better details tomorrow morning.
