Subject: Problem accessing a Certain Remote IP with Kernel 2.6.24-rc1
Hi all!
I hope this mail gets through because last time I checked, I got
bounces
whenever I tried to send email to LKML ("not liked source" for mail).
I've been having a problem with kernel 2.6.24-rc1 on Mandriva
Cooker. The
problem is that after using it for a while connecting through TCP to
the
following remote, Internet IP - 212.143.218.31 - takes a very long
time.
Here's what I've learned:
1. Kernel 2.6.23 seem to exhibit this problem tooa fter a while.
2. It already happened twice with kernel 2.6.24-rc1.
3. A different computer on the same Home LAN connected via a NAT/
router has no
problem with that IP. (At the same time, the Linux computer exhibits
the
problematic behaviour).
4. I could connect using telnet to port 80 eventually, but it took
an awfully
long time.
5. I have problem with both HTTP to port 80 and POP.
6. Restarting the network ("/etc/init.d/network restart") does not
help - only
a reboot.
7. The network as a whole (Google, etc.) works fine.
I need this IP, because it hosts my POP account and my homepage.
Per Rik van Riel's advice I prepared Ethereal (libpcap) dumps of the
conversations before ("good") and after ("bad") the problem surfaced:

I'd appreciate if anyone would be able to shed more light on this
problem and
hopefully fix it. Please let me know if there's anything else you
need.
Regards,
Shlomi Fish
