debian hell :(
 

hey guys,

well i have a problem, i have just installed 2.6.0 kernel with no problems, all over ssh - however now when the box boots it grabs all the releavent info from my dhcp server,

loki:/home/tstott# ifconfig -a
eth0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:40:F4:89:76:67
inet addr:192.168.0.6 Bcast:192.168.0.255 Mask:255.255.255.0

loki:/home/tstott# cat /etc/resolv.conf
search
nameserver 212.159.13.49
nameserver 212.159.13.50

loki:/home/tstott# netstat -r
Kernel IP routing table

default 192.168.0.1 0.0.0.0 UG 0 0 0 eth0

now this is the wierd part- it will allow me to ssh into it both internally on the network and externally to my external IP, it will allow me to ping any address (both internal and external), and will even resolve names when trying to telnet or apt-get etc etc,

eg,

loki:/home/tstott# telnet dux.dundee.ac.uk
Trying 134.36.2.80...


but then fails and times out,

this is the strangest thing i have seen - anyone got any ideas??

cheers
Tom

Try it without firewall rules...
/etc/init.d/iptables stop
