Hi Maarten,

I have just read your post and you are right. Unfortunately, I have had to work 
much more because I hadn't read your email. I excepcted to be notified by 
email, but I haven't. I have two nics

eth0 --> intranet static ip
eth1 --> internet dhcp ip

Although on both kernel 2.6.18-etch and 2.8.26-lenny eth1 MTU was 576 (X.25 
network size) for some reason with the former kernel it worked, but with the 
latter it didn't. By setting up the right MTU size (1500 for my cable 
connection) everything works pretty good.

I found this article that was very helpful: 
http://adam.rosi-kessel.org/weblog/2009/02/25/iptables_router_failed_after_debian_lenny_upgrade_solved_by_setting_mtu

My solution was inspired in what says here 
http://www.debianadmin.com/change-mtu-maximum-transmission-unit-of-network-interface.html
 but I had to put this instead in my /etc/network/interfaces file:
...etc...
allow-hotplug eth1
iface eth1 inet dhcp
        post-up /sbin/ifconfig eth1 mtu 1500

I hope it helps anyone and again, thanks a lot Maarten for your help.

Best regards! :-)

PD: I have upgraded the pastebin links I pasted in my above posts. They were 
temporary and the new ones are permanent.
