Hi, I have a problem which is driving me crazy: If I use a 2.2.x kernel (as opposed to 2.0.36), I can't make any network connections (over my ppp link) that require tcp. In other works, non-tcp net stuff, like ping or dns lookup, work fine, but telnets just hang.
My system is actually not a complete potato system (it's originally a slink system, and I've never done a complete upgrade), but I've upgraded most base packages to potato. I tried to use `tcpdump' to figure out what's going on, but I really don't know how to interpret the results; one obvious difference is that when using the 2.2.x krnel, tcpdump shows lots of strange options turned on in the packets, whereas the packets sent by the older kernel don't. I recall seeing a mention on debian-user about people having similar problems to mine; can someone give me a pointer, or recommend where I can look for a solution?
