The gateway machine is running FreeBSD 4.7-RELEASE and the other two are running WinXP and Win2000 respectively.

What is the OS you are running on the 3 operating systems?  Is it
FreeBSD also or something else?

I'm using a FreeBSD 4.7-RELEASE box as a gateway for my household network (3 machines total). I'm using natd + ipfw + DHCP. It
works mostly as it should (i.e. the other two boxes are able to
connect to the internet as expected), but there are some
inconsistencies. For example, if I go to Yahoo! and look up a map,
I get a "The connection was refused while attempting to contact
rd.yahoo.com" message when I try to zoom in. This does not happen
from the FreeBSD box itself (everything works perfectly normally on
this box). Also, those wonderful ads embedded in many web pages do
not come up due to similar "connection refused" messages. This
leads me to believe that something is not translating but I'm not
sure what it could be. I tried disabling the firewall completely
and that brought no change to this odd behavior. I tried bypassing
DHCP by setting everything statically, but the behavior was still
the same.

At my last apartment, I was running FreeBSD 4.6.2-RELEASE as the firewall OS and everything worked just fine. Has something changed
in 4.7 that might cause this behavior? Or, could this just be an
oddity when dealing with AT&T Broadband (I had Sprint at the other
place).

I'm not sure what information might be required to try and debug/diagnose this so more info is available upon request. Any
and all ideas will be greatly appreciated! Thanks in advance.
