Hi,
just a me too. I had the same problem with httpd in caching proxy
mode when I tried to access WWW-servers "inside". "outside" access
was okay. All tested Windows 3.1 clients (Netscape, Mosaic) hung
when accessing image data. Clients of *IX hosts in the same
"internal" network worked okay (Netscape, Mosaic, lynx). It wasn't
depending on a specific PC. It hung on all PCs tested.
Recently we updated these PCs with Windows-NT and imagine:
  The same Netscape and Mosaic binaries are now running.
Under Windows 3.1 we were using FTPs TCP/IP software.
We didn't check other protocol stacks.
After all I concluded there was something broken with Windows 3.1
or FTPs IP-software. If you have an NT-copy handy try it.
No, we didn't check Win95 because after testing it we agreed
NT would be a much more desirable platform for our Windows users.
