networking woes w/ kernel 2.4

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Hello,

I have a network setup that works perfectly fine under Linux 2.2.17 (and
other OS's) but not under 2.4.0-test9.  Here is the setup:

                  NAT/FW
           router    |     router
host A  <----X------>W--------Y------>  host B
1.1.1.1              ^--------Z------<  2.2.2.2
           [1.1.1.1 <-> 1.1.9.9]

Host A is behind a NAT firewall and has address 1.1.1.1
Host B on the other side has an asymmetric route to/from host A.
The FW translates A's 1.1.1.1 address to/from 1.1.9.9.
The FW allows unrestricted access from the outside to host A's SMTP port.

I have no problems with connections initiated by host A to host B.
Telnet, SMTP, ssh, etc all work fine, so the routing is set up properly.

I can ping host A from host B, as the FW rules allow it.
I cannot, however, connect to host A's SMTP port from host B.

The problem is definitely with host B and with Linux 2.4.0-test9.  The same
host running 2.2.17 works fine.

Any ideas what's going on?
