I have figured out what is going on with my machine after 15 reboots. I can ping the other machine on my home network but if I connect to the net I cannot do anything until I do 'ipchains -F'. I can restart my ipchains rules and all is well until the next time I need to reboot. At that time, I need to restart my ipchains rules when I connect to the net the first time.
This was not a problem until yesterday's upgrade. Any ideas what is REALLY the problem? I do not have the problem if I leave out (don't start) ipchains when I reboot. My network settings are still in /etc/init.d/network BTW I am using kernel 2.2.14 and ppp (modem). thanks -- Andrew
