Some background...
 
I use a Netcom modem/router/hub/firewall which runs embedded Linux for my connection to the internet...on my LAN I have one Mandrake 8.1 box and two WinME boxes. The Mandrake box is a simple server running Apache, Postfix and Squid mainly.
 
The Netcom uses port forwarding on ports 80 & 25 (ONLY) to the Mandrake box.
 
As you may have guessed, I have a problem...  8-)
 
The problem is this:
 
I receive mail and everything else just fine, and I can send small emails (under about 10-15k) just fine, but cannot send anything larger. If I try it will start to send then slow gradually until it comes to a grinding halt and eventually times out.
 
As near as I can determine it's related to this:
 
My knowledge is very limited, but obviously (?) I need to forward ICMP messages to the Mandrake box.
 
My questions: How? What other  ports should be forwarded?
 
Thanks...
