I think that is because the masquerading time for udp packets in the ipchains firewall has been exceeded. The first ACK did work, it is the one taking 170 seconds that times out. Change it by executing on the firewall: ipchains -M -S tcp tcpfin udp Filling in 0 means "do not change the value": ipchains -M -S 0 0 300 (I did not use ipchains since more than 4 or 5 years now, so take care and read the man page again too.) -- Paul Bijnens, xplanation Technology Services Tel +32 16 397.511 Technologielaan 21 bus 2, B-3001 Leuven, BELGIUM Fax +32 16 397.512 http://www.xplanation.com/ email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] *********************************************************************** * I think I've got the hang of it now: exit, ^D, ^C, ^\, ^Z, ^Q, ^^, * * F6, quit, ZZ, :q, :q!, M-Z, ^X^C, logoff, logout, close, bye, /bye, * * stop, end, F3, ~., ^]c, +++ ATH, disconnect, halt, abort, hangup, * * PF4, F20, ^X^X, :D::D, KJOB, F14-f-e, F8-e, kill -1 $$, shutdown, * * init 0, kill -9 1, Alt-F4, Ctrl-Alt-Del, AltGr-NumLock, Stop-A, ... * * ...
