Is it happening with a single connection, or when trying tens, hundreds, thousands? Is it stalled? Could you send a packet capture for such connection? Thank you.

I have not yet tried 2.6.21.. only tried to 2.6.20.9.
Please, try it with the most close configuration by using the same config-file and running make oldconfig. There are some issues fixed since that.
The issue isn't browser dependent ,as a wget directly from the OS will also fail during the connection. Interestingly requests made from hosts behind the 2.6.20 gateway that make the same request work fine, it seems it's only requests made from the localhost itself.
To be in position to assist you, the people of the list may wish more details, like: 1. wireshark or tcpdump capture of the broken/stalled sessions; 2. iptables ruleset dump and running modules list; 3. more knowledge about your kernel configuration (config file); 4. more details about your HW, particular networking and their drivers (is not it a HW/card/driver specific issue?) Y may wish to look at how other people are submitting issues/bugs with more details. -- Sincerely, Robert Iakobashvili, coroberti %x40 gmail %x2e com ........................................................... http://curl-loader.sourceforge.net A web testing and traffic generation tool. - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe netdev" in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
