I am in the process of rewriting my firewall ( as prev mentioned on the list)
and in this process note that there have been updates to ip_xxxx_irc. put in
2.4.22. I'm currently running 2.4.21 with lowlatency patches and iptables
1.2.7a with P.O.M. from 20030107.
Are the updates in 2.4.22 likely to fix the occasional DCC send/recieve
errors that my natted users have been experiencing ( DCC connection requests
come through, but cannot be seen by the client, only by the server and
the NATTING host) -- this is an intermittent problem that I was laying at the
foot of the client until I noted that the actual client to client connection
was never built in the conntrack table?
(would make my other half and a couple of friends that drop by with laptops
MUCH happier)
Considering what I'm up to at the moment, this is becoming a project that
I'm gonna have to take a day or three to perform anyway --- I'd like to know
if I should add a kernel upgrade and an iptables tools and POM upgrade to
the list.
(This is my HOME lan... not a production system for business... but rather
a mixed OS lan/playground)
