Nope, it was a 2.4.18-6mdk (last number I'm not 100% sure of, but the first three are absolutly correct) with iptables as firewall. I know for sure because I recompiled the kernel a few times but kept switching back to the Mandrake one. Also, I tried fiddling with iptables a few times (command line, not in a script) and I always failed :) > THe reason I ask is because I'm > wondering if your connection sharing got lost because when you upgraded > you switched from ipchains to iptables.

I always connect my laptop to the main server by crosslink and after the upgrade, I didn't even get a ip from the server (dhcp). I checked the laptop a few times and restarted the network on the laptop a few times, but it didn't help. After fixing mcc (it needed a patch, because the dutch version of mcc wasn't working) I looked at "Connection sharing" and it told me it wasn't configured yet. I configured it and it worked, but I wasn't able to connect from the laptop with ssh. I'm afraid I didn't try outgoing ssh from server to laptop. But all other things worked, I got my mail from Internet.
