99% chance that the problem is your firewall is blocking it, check to see if the ipmasq package is installed, if it is reconfigure it(i _always_ delete it it has caused me NOTHING but trouble) flush the firewall by running ipchains -F if you got kernel 2.2.x or ipfwadm -f<type> where <type> is type F (forward) I(insert) A(append). if your not specifically using the ipmasq package the system will automatically re add the firewall rules blocking aLL incoming and outoging traffic, if you want ipmasq, id suggest you delete that $#@ package and setup the firewall manually(ipmasq only needs 1 rule, or 2 if your security minded). i spent many many hours trying to figure out what was screwing my servers up till i found the ipmasq package was doing it. nate ----------------------------------------[mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] ]-- Vice President Network Operations http://www.firetrail.com/ Firetrail Internet Services Limited http://www.aphroland.org/ Everett, WA 425-348-7336 http://www.linuxpowered.net/ Powered By: http://comedy.aphroland.org/ Debian 2.1 Linux 2.0.36 SMP http://yahoo.aphroland.org/ -----------------------------------------[mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] ]-- 11:53am up 145 days, 23:53, 2 users, load average: 0.33, 0.31, 0.30
