gday :)
i'm on FBSD7, ipfw local firewall , dlink router, iinet, Sydney - no problems
getting to commbank.

We used to have similar issues when running a 6.x gateway behind a SHDSL line.
The issue was the MSS was too high - i had to run an ipfw divert rule to
net/tcpmssd process to fix this. It was affecting mainly traffic coming from
IIS hosts (no idea why :P ).

HIH,
