No. I can ping (ssh, etc) from A to B, but not from B to A.

I'm on unfamiliar territory here; I ran "route -v" and got these results:
Kernel IP routing table
Destination Gateway Genmask Flags Metric Ref Use Iface
192.168.123.0 * 255.255.255.0 U 0 0 0 eth0
default 192.168.123.254 0.0.0.0 UG 0 0 0 eth0
> Are you running iptables??
Again, I'm on unfamiliar territory. I'm not sure one way or the other. This is what I get with the 2.4 (working) kernel:
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ sudo iptables -L
Chain INPUT (policy ACCEPT)
target prot opt source destination
Chain FORWARD (policy ACCEPT)
target prot opt source destination
Chain OUTPUT (policy ACCEPT)
target prot opt source destination
I'll have to reboot to get the output for the 2.6 kernel (which I'll do later). But it's a stock kernel, so unless iptables is something that's turned on within the kernel itself, I imagine the results will be similar.
Earlier I was asked for the output of "lsmod" while booted into the 2.6 non-working kernel; here it is:

I've about decided the 2.6.8-2-k7 is just horribly broken. The networking issues are the only thing I've posted about, but I have several issues when booted into this kernel. (psmouse not loading, therefore no mouse, video in console changing to hard-to-read light gray during boot-up, fbset garbling the console screen beyond recognition, sound being scratchy, etc). I'd try a different 2.6 kernel, but there doesn't seem to be another suitable k7-optimized stock kernel available (which surprises me, because I thought the debian repositories tended to have several versions available):

I don't really want to roll my own; I'd just as soon stick with 2.4 than do that.
If anyone wants to help beat this problem into submission, I'd be glad to continue on; it'd be a good education. But if not, don't worry about it; like I say, I'll just stick with 2.4 until another 2.6-k7 version makes it into the repositories, or until I need to move to 2.6 for some reason, at which time I may reconsider compiling my own.
(Just for the record; this all started when an upgrade to x.org broke my older ATI TV card playback; it used to be that whenever an upgrade of xserver-xfree86 hosed my playback, I could just drop in the ATI.2 drivers from GATOS and restart X; apparently the move to x.org broke something there. I thought I'd try an upgrade to a 2.6 kernel to see if that made any difference; it did, but in the wrong direction. D'oh!)
Thanks!
