And why are > you using 2.3 rather than 2.4test? I have only USWest to blame. When I setup the server, right after ordering DSL service from USWest, 2.3.99-pre6 was the latest and greatest. The DSL service has just been installed and it's only now that I'm finding these problems. I will probably switch to 2.4 now, based on some of the comments I've heard. I'm also going to investigate "netfilter".
