Under "Networking options," did you turn on IP defragging?  It's
probably safer to do so on your gateway box, but it will slow down your
throughput a fair amount.  Assuming that's the problem, you could try
it both ways and see if you lose anything important or if you have
problems sending the right packets to the right machine....
