Many people experience problems with the online banks because
they [the banks] often [incorrectly] filter out all ICMP traffic,
preventing things such as MTU negotiation taking place.
        The client often experiences problems like the one you have
mentioned if anywhere between them and the bank the MTU is reduced.

        I've spoken to several of the banks security teams about it, and
they all say that they wont do anything unless lots of their clients are
affected.

I was wondering if anybody else has experienced problems using secure
sites
such as online banking with ADSL (Jetstart)?

I am using a Alcatel Speedtouch Pro configured as a router (Gv8bab3.281
firmware), Windows XP, IE6 and having difficulties with the Nationalbank
NZ
online banking site.

I can logon, but when I try to undertake an activity such as looking up
balances the site seems to stop responding half-way through returning
the
next web-page. The problem is intermittent, but occurs more often than
not.

If I connect with a standard modem on the same machine everything seems
fine.

I was wondering if the built-in firewalling of the Speedtouch Pro or NAT
was
breaking the secure
communications?

Has anybody experienced similar problems and knows of a fix?

Thanks

Andrew
