I had a similar problem on 2.4, I was unable to initiate any TCP

TCP over loopback works fine. TCP to LAN hosts works fine. UDP and
ICMP to any hosts works fine. Inbound TCP from anywhere works fine.
It's only routed (non-LAN) outbound TCP that's the problem -- and only
from the problem host; all my other machines on the same LAN are still
in good shape.
I ran tcpdump on the problem host and saw only SYNs being sent. I ran
tcpdump on the target host and never saw the inbound packets.
There are no iptables rules; it's ACCEPT across the board.
Ordinarily, I'd look for routing problems, but routing would also
affect UDP and ICMP, right?
