Hi all, I finished a fresh debian installation (woody) with kernel 2.4.0-test9 (tested in various configurations) and 2.2.17 + pcmcia (latest release)
All the installation is on a laptop with pcmcia support enable for my 2 eth's. The situation of my network is like this: box eth0 ---> Cisco Pix Firewall ---> real internet box eth1 ---------------------------> real internet my normal configuration is with eth1 down so all packets have to "travel" trough the Pix. With kernel 2.2.17 everything work fine. Using kernel 2.4.0-test9 no. I disabled each kind of iptables or ipchains in a way that my box is fully "open". I got that all connections to the localnet are ok while all tcp connections from my box to the real internet don't work. I receive a "Connection Refused" while i'm able to perform ping or traceroute to the same host. So I setuped my eth1 directly on the real internet and everything worked fine. (also routing was ok in all conditions) Any idea why there's problem??? Fabio
