I think the problem is deeper rooted than that, as ftp is failing as 
well. When I manually establish an ftp session I can log in, but midway 
through the intro screen the connection freezes.

Maybe the kernel thinks the NATed packages are spoofed or something?

Oddly enough I can telnet to some other (outside) systems just fine, or 
at least I have not triggered yet what causes the freeze...
