Hello, I have a new firewall in development for the college i work at. I have tried extensively googling this issue in various ways and have not managed to find anything that seems pertinent.
Essentially, the problem I'm having is that a client that connects to the internet through the new firewall (pf on openbsd 3.6) has problems establishing a connection to AIM (login.oscar.aol.com). I have performed severl ethereal packet sniffing sessions and can confirm that there is a successful connection established between the server and the client and then it just drops. Usually after about an hour or two of stubborn retrying and waiting it eventually works. Are there any possible pf configuration snafus that could be at fault? The only other factor that I see as possibly contributing to the problem (i'm not sure how) is that the internet connection is a set of 4 bonded t1s, but I've been given the impression that this shouldn't make a difference.
