OK. That was a possibility which could have explained the difference in 
the interfaces.

But which netfilter modules are loaded in? Again, there can be some 
auto-loading problem which we cannot figure out without the list of the 
modules. And as Patrick suggested: do you see the connections in 
/proc/net/nf_conntrack? Or you have got /proc/net/ip_conntrack instead?
