As Barney noted, the behavior of both OSes looks very similar. Have you run tcpdump on the solaris box at the same time? That win 0 packet looks _really_ suspicious to me; it doesn't share the DF bit or timestamps of the other packets in the stream. On top of that, I see no reason why a win 0 should be sent when the previous window was ~24K in size. Is it possible that the NAT box is adding it in?
