I'm a long time LRP user and have had Dachstein 1.0.2 running since it came out (a year ago? Can't remember..) Anyway, the firewall had barely been touched in the past year so clearly it was time for me to break something.
I did a HW swat for that firewall because I needed the space for 3 NICs in the office so I swapped in a different PC. The new box has different NICs in it (2 Linksys 100TX vs. the 2 ISA 3COM NICs in the old one) and the new one can't boot from the CD. Since I'm using Dachstein from CD, I just needed to create a bootable Dachstein disk, copy the config files to, edit modules and I was back in business. I also dropped some packages I wasn't using (dnscache, qos, and bandwidth22). After a reboot I was back in business. Now for the problem, for the week or 2 (approx. the same time as the HW swap) I can't download files greater than about 2MB. It 1st appeared because some antivirus downloads were failing and later I noticed that any somewhat large file would just hand during download. When it hangs the cable modem shows no activity. Messages and auth.log are clear. Due to the timing I assume it's something with the firewall change, but can't image what and I never rule out Comcast messing with things. Could a bad NIC cause behavior like this? Other ideas. Sorry for the lengthy post.
