my prob was i installed the ipmasq (i usually do a full blown install) and it automatically sets all policies to DENY which of course blocks all incoming and outgoing traffic..hit ipchains -L to see if there are any rules and make sure the policys are to ACCEPT miles >The only real difference *I* can see is that the DF (don't fragment) miles >flag is turned on for the initial packet using the newer kernel; miles >however, since the first packet *is* acked, that doesn't seem like it miles >should be the problem.
