Package: kernel-image-2.4 Version: N/A Severity: important This is an issue for the kernel folk. Just verify
telnet www.compaq.com 80 It will not respond with all kernel 2.4.5+ (timeout) I used my workstation at work with 2.4.8,9 and several machines of the Project. It seems ok with 2.4.2 or 2.4.4 (eg auric et al.) This seems a problem with routing filtering policies (icmp filtering I think) used by some sites. Use debussy.debian.org to see the problem. Compaq is only one of sites with the same problem. It does not seem a problem due to PMD (path mtu discovery): echo 1 > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_no_pmtu_disc does not solve the problem.
