While the problem is occuring, could you try adding some packet tracing rules to ipchains and posting the results? Run the following commands at a command prompt: ipchains -I input -l ipchains -I forward -l ipchains -I output -l This will cause packet info for *EVERYTHING* to be logged, so don't try this when you've got lots of internet activity going on. Once the rules are in place, try connecting to a website from one of the systems that is temporarily "disconnected", then do a connection from the kazza box that should fix the problem (IIRC), and finally, repeat the connection attempt from the disconnected/broken system (which should work now, if I'm remembering your problem description correctly). Provide the log files, and details of exactly what you tried (ie website URL's and internal system IP addresses for help in decoding the log files), and I'll see if I can spot anything out of the ordinary. If there's some sort of problem with the kernel's masquerading of packets (happens in the forward ipchain), there should be records of packets hitting the input chain, possibly hitting the forward chain, and not making it to the output chain. Conversly, if everything looks OK going through ipchains, the problem is likely somewhere else. Is your ISP maybe doing some sort of masquerading or NAT on your connection? I can't off-hand think of anything the ISP would do that would break your connection from some internal machines but not other, but I suppose it could be possible...
