NAT Dropping Internal Connection

I have a P-200 running 4.8-STABLE running as a NAT box at home. It runs
well, except that periodically it will drop it's connection on the
internal side of the network. The external interface still works, but the
internal machines can't ping the NAT box at all and the NAT box can't
ping the internal machines.

I've looked through the mailing lists and google for hints why this
might be happening, but I can't find anything. /var/log/messages also
reveals nothing. Here are the relevant kernel options:

options IPFIREWALL
options IPFIREWALL_FORWARD
options IPFIREWALL_DEFAULT_TO_ACCEPT
options IPDIVERT
options IPFILTER
options IPSTEALTH
options RANDOM_IP_ID
options TCP_DROP_SYNFIN

Would any of those cause the problem, or is there a kernel option that
I'm accidentally leaving off?

Thanks,

-Jeremy Bingham
