Hi, I am having a problem accessing some sites from Freebsd 6.2 in either
firefox or Opera. I looked around for some advice on this on the net, found
some pages mentioning this as a problem when Freebsd was running on the machine

acting as the gateway  and the machines trying to access the sites were Windows
or Mac. But my case is this

my set up:   Laptop(FreeBSD 6.2) -> netgearFVS318 router-> ADSL modem (set
up as  bridge)


I have 2 other machines connected to the router, one running Windows XP Home
and the other NetBSD 3.01 both have no problem accessing the sites that I
can't access on the FreeBSD machine. resolv.conf is set up with the addresses
of both my ISP's DNS servers. 

Below are the results of ifconfig -a and traceroute -v to one of the problem
sites.

Any clues?

Thanks in advance,

Alasdair
