Alfredo,
I upgraded to 5.2.0 and saw some positive results. I received packets
for a while and then they mysteriously stopped. So far, the only way
that I've found to fix the problem is to reboot. The pfcount output
looks something like this (the duration during which I receive packets
seems to vary from reboot to reboot).
(at this point, I've just tested connectivity using pings)
