Greg,

Are the sequence numbers lining up OK? What's
the data of the Push/Ack and Ack that follows?

Are you using SYN-Defender? If so, test without.
Have you tried disabling the passive mode? It
appears to work in reverse of what the option
says. Are you using the 'fw sam' feature?

The 172.17.x.x is you sanitizing your post? (You
mentioned no NAT in the original post.)

You haven't mentioned if SP1 and hot fix(es)
you have. If your straight v4.1, maybe apply
them and test again. Test disabling passive
first. This would be a quick test and very little
interruption - I don't think this is the problem,
but it can't hurt to test.

Robert
