(2.2.7 RELEASE)

I have a FreeBSD machine that refuses to download web pages from 
certain sites on the net. An example is www.sec.gov. Netscape reports
that it is "Connecting", then "Waiting for reply", then the status line
goes blank and the connection eventually times out with no data transferred.

Using telnet to download the www page has similar results:

monk% telnet www.sec.gov 80
Trying 204.192.28.13...
Connected to www.sec.gov.
Escape character is '^]'.
GET /

(no data is returned. The connection just sits forever.)

What is strange is that a Sun workstation on the local network works
ok!

Any ideas?

Thanks,

Joe
