Please provide packet captures for your download attempts. Use 'tcpdump -i eth0 -w eeepc.pcap' (as root) on the eeePC to create the file 'eeepc.pcap' (and press ^C to stop). If you can install tcpdump on the NAS, please run 'tcpdump -i eth0 -w nas.pcap' there at the same time. You can use wireshark to review these files before sending them to us. Please also provide the firewall rules that firestarter generates ('iptables -vnL' will print these) Ben. -- Ben Hutchings Absolutum obsoletum. (If it works, it's out of date.) - Stafford Beer
