hi Scott-- its a linux NAT thing. It depends on your distro... and how
much
you know about NAT (configuration)... but basically there are some services
that have not worked well (historically) with masquerading (the linux
software implementation of NAT). Special modules were always required for
instance to fix irc and ftp in order to work through ip_masq. Hardware NAT
may not have this problem. The thing is that some firewalls/routers are
really older (very much older) linux systems using ip_masq and ip_chains, and
may not be setup properly with the fix modules for ftp and irc. So, its
something to look into.
