The only other possibility I can think of is that many FTP daemons these days do a RDNS lookup prior to transmission. It could be that you are somehow blocking the lookup if you are running your own reverse zones.

|I've only run into this problem once running Gnat box when the
|pro and the
|ext net cards had interrupt conflicts.
|Once I removed the conflict in those cards the DSL connection
|ran smooth as
|silk.
|
|I was using 3c509b cards in all 3 nets (this is GB 2.2)
