Thanks, that is what was recommended from the phoneboy website, but seemed to have no impact.In neither case has SYN attack protection been enabled either (to eliminate it from the equation). I didn't know if there was some other setting I was missing out on....

You're right with the description, why FW-1 drops the SYN-ACK. You can't get FW-1 to accept SYN-ACKs without seeing the appropriate SYNs before.
