I post here this 'user' triuble because i suppose it came from some
strange kernel (mis)configuration.

I've just upgrade from edgy to feisty, and the communication between
guest and host in bridge mode stop working.
And in a rather, at least for me, strange way.

I can ping from host to guest:

	root@host:~# ping guest
	PING guest (10.5.2.120) 56(84) bytes of data.
	64 bytes from guest (10.5.2.120): icmp_seq=1 ttl\x128 	time=3.00 ms
	64 bytes from guest (10.5.2.120): icmp_seq=2 ttl\x128 time=0.242 ms
	64 bytes from guest (10.5.2.120): icmp_seq=3 ttl\x128 time=0.224 ms

	--- guest ping statistics ---
	3 packets transmitted, 3 received, 0% packet loss, time 1998ms
	rtt min/avg/max/mdev = 0.224/1.158/3.008/1.308 ms

and also from guest to host (guest are Windows XP, trust me please ;).

But i cannot access the host samba share from guest, nor access the ssh
server of host from guest, nor access the TightVNC server of the guest
from the host.

Eg, for putty:

	root@host:~# tcpdump -i eth0 host guest and port ssh
	tcpdump: verbose output suppressed, use -v or -vv for full protocol decode
	listening on eth0, link-type EN10MB (Ethernet), capture size 96 bytes

someone can point me at least to the right plase to debug this? ;)
