I went from Shorewall 1.3.12a to 1.3.4. I connected to a MSN user, not an AOL user. Don't know if either made a difference. I'll send you the shorewall status file anyway. I didn't bother with the Dachstein ('cause my mother felt like talking ;-) Let me know if you still want that info. I do have tcpdump on my CD. Tom, I can't wait to hear your analysis of their MAGIC technology.
I'm curious if you see some dropped UDP packets being logged about the time of the connection and would like to at least get the "shorewall status" output. Such dropped packets would be consistent with Ray's analysis. If we don't see the dropped packets then I would like to look at the packet trace to see what exactly is going on.
Thanks,
