go to 'systems' , 'advanced functions', and check out: Firewall
Optimization Options. you can change the timing there.
i'm not sure as to the exact timing. i believe this has to do with
freebsd's implementation of tcp/ip??

It seems like connections on my network that are utilizing NAT
reflection are timing out extremely fast (like 20 seconds or less).
The firewall optimization is set to "conservative."
This is only a guess, but it's the only thing that I can think of
that makes sense based on the behavior I'm experiencing. (RDP
sessions timing out and constantly reconnecting, and uploading
changes to websites via sharepoint server extensions are all timing
out, long transfers between mail servers as well).
