POST Size Limit...Where's it coming from?

We have setup a Windows 2000 Server machine (we'll call
this the NEW one) to allow us to migrate websites from an
older Windows 2000 Server machine (the OLD one) to.
Both are running what appear to be identical setups.
However, for some strange reason our NEW one turns out to
have a limit on POST sizes!?! It started with a customer
who was using IDC/HTX on his site. He could not post
anymore that 182 characters total (between all the form
fields) or the post showed up as blank. We installed php
on the machine and created a test form in the same
directory. Same exact limit...182 characters and
everything works great, 183 characters and the browser
just churns for inifinity. I moved this same code to a
test virtual host (which had a much shorter url) and it
will allow me to go up to 491 characters. However, for
both sites, if I remove the www from the URL I get to add
a few more characters to the length before it dies. I've
googled and tested for two days and haven't come up with
a thing. Anyone have any ideas??? Removing or
installing URLScan made no difference and the URLScan
logs show no sign of rejection. The machine.config
appears to be default with maxrequest vars set to their
shipped settings (unchanged). This box runs SP3 and most
of the hot fixes that have been released (is that the
problem???). Thanks much.

I've seen similar weirdness when there's a proxy in the way - is there
one in this case?
