The iptables router has two NICs; one connects to the cable modem, the
other to an internal switch. Router is running Linux 2.6.26, iptables
1.4.2. The router box has no network issues with the Internet. I can ping, surf websites, etc.. The client box has no problems talking to the router.

Problem solved! For some reason, the MTU on my outward-facing NIC had shrunk after the Debian Lenny upgrade. By increasing the MTU back to 1500 on that interface, everything works fine.

So it's not iptables fault.

I have no idea why the MTU would have been set lower after the upgrade, but that's some other package's problem.
