Thanks Martin, that fixed it. I had overlooked adding this entry What is unusual is that the exteral & internal tcpdump traces don't show any problems. I had expected a checksum error or similar problem on one or more packets, but that did not occur.

Since you mention pppoe - might it be that your Bering uClibc setup is missing the CLAMPMSS=Yes line in /etc/shorewall/shorewall.conf? Just an idea, since that's what happened to me when I set up my first 2.0 box from scratch - and it may just be "bad luck" that the online banking site is the first one to exhibit the problem. Martin P.S. I'll be out of town over Christmas - so I won't be able to respond to any followup questions for a few days. -- You think that's tough?
