You write about your problem with incoming HTTP sessions, probably because *I* mentioned HTTP. But the HTTP requests that I mentioned were *OUTGOING*. I don't have any problem with incoming HTTP requests, because all of them are routed through my frame-relay (I haven't installed BGP yet). The strange problem was that after a while, sometimes several days, outgoing HTTP requests (excluding sites of the ISP and excluding ports different than 80) are blocked. Sometimes it's gone after minutes, sometimes after hours. It's like there is a problem with the transparent proxy. Maybe there is a problem with POP too, as Reuven wrote, but I haven't checked. In any case, the problem that Reuven mentioned is different. I had the same problem in the first days after installing the router (about a year ago), lowered the MTU of the Win clients (to 1452 or 1500, don't remember), and then everything wroked great, until recently. I'm going to call the start-up that I mentioned yesterday that found the bug in the firewall configuration of the ISP. So bye for now...
