You can also:

# tail -f /var/log/messages

Which will display new log messages in real time. Run this in a separate console and 
connect to see exactly what is being blocked when.

PU> Hi Hernan,
PU> Please check /var/log/messages for dropped packets. I usually try the action
PU> (connect ftp) on the client then check the log right after (tail command).

PU> # cd /var/log
PU> # tail messages | grep (IP of client)

PU> You can also use a - with a number to see a specified number of lines with
PU> tail.
PU> i.e.
PU> # tail -200 messages | grep (IP of client)
PU> will show you the last 200 lines of that file.

PU> The log will help to determine if the MNF is receiving/dropping the FTP/DNS
PU> requests.
PU> If you do not get results with the command above please try it without the
PU> grep part.

PU> Best regards,
PU> Patrick
