Hi, have you got a pcmcia network adapter? If yes, your problem could be due to service startup timing... Check your logs here: > Dec 23 17:50:48 ptce ifup: Delaying eth0 initialization. > Dec 23 17:50:48 ptce network: Bringing up interface eth0: failed > Dec 23 17:50:51 ptce pcmcia: cardmgr. > Dec 23 17:50:52 ptce rc: Starting pcmcia: succeeded Your pcmcia system is started after networking. You could lower the startup number of pcmcia service and try again. (check /etc/init.d/rc5.d or /etc/rc5.d or runlevel 3) Anyway i think this is not netfilter related......
