Hello!  I have a FreeBSD 4.3-STABLE machine running natd for the rest of the 
network.  It runs the command "natd -f /etc/natd.conf -i vx0" on startup.  
/etc/natd.conf has only one commented out line, so it essentially has 
nothing in it.  Natd translates from the vx0 public interface to the vx1 
private interface on 192.168.0.1.  Both interfaces use a 3Com 595 card.

Machines outside the network have no trouble connecting to the FBSD box, but 
from within the network on all ports the connection takes a very long time 
to start, and many programs (ftp clients, mail clients, etc.) time out 
waiting to connect.  It takes several minutes to start an ssh or ftp 
session.  Once I get connected it runs just fine, but it takes forever to 
connect.  This happens regardless of whether I connect to the private side 
(192.168.0.1) or the public side (68.x.x.x) from within the network.

Anybody have any ideas?  I'd greatly appreciate any help.

Thanks,
Art
