[FW1] Strange web problem

[Joe Albanese <joea@ohioonline.net>]

We're using checkpoint v4.0 on a solaris box.  For the most
part we're able to surf to any web site.  However, there are a few web sites
that we can't get to.  For example, www.oracle.com, www.winzip.com.  The browser
simply times out.  We have an IBM firewall on the same network that has no
problems getting to the sites.
I can't even get to the sites when I'm directly on the firewall.  Our rules are
applied inbound only, so there's no way a filter could be the problem.  Plus I
don't see any drops in the logs.  Furthermore we do have some network
connectivity to those sites.  My snoop traces show that there is initial
communication both ways.  For some reason the connection is dropped after about
the 4th packet exchange.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

thanks,
Joe
