    I was wondering if anyone has been playing around with the 2.2
kernel(using slackware 4.0 or Redhat's Starbuck) and noticed anything
strange with incoming tcpip.  To be more specific, I have a machine that
dual boots NT(I don't boot it that often) and Linux 2.2.5.  I can ping and
ftp to my NT machine from work but I can't ping or ftp to my linux machine
whenever it's booted.  I thought for a while that I was having problems with
the cable company(I have a cable modem) but I have had them research it and
they say that no outages exist in my area whenever I'm having problems.

    I have come to the conclusion that I have set up Linux incorrectly or
something new is turned on by default in the new kernel that wasn't on by
default in Kernel 2.0.36(Redhat 5.2).  The only thing that I have changed
from the releases is the required changes to use ipchains instead of ipfwadm
for ip masquerading.  Anyone know if ipchains or anything in the Kernel
would make my machine un-pingable or un-traceroutable.  I don't have any
problems when I'm at home with an outbound connection and I have a static IP
so it's not a DHCP issue.

Any ideas?????
