Steve,
Also take a look at the -R, -H and -l options to tcpserver - these
relate to DNS and identd lookups - try using all three (see the
man page) and see if the behaviour of the box changes. If so,
investigate why - then either leave these options in, or address
the issues these options work around.
cheers,
Andrew.
