IPTABLES on 2.4.24 Kernel and 536EP

IPTABLES on 2.4.24 Kernel and 536EP

[Dennis Morgan]

Hi all..
Maybe one of you's will be able to help me out.. at the moment i have been 
having really strange situations with a IBM PC running-
Ram - 256Meg 
P3 - 450
Debian Unstable/Testing - using kernel 2.4.24

I have a intel 536EP based modem, which when eva nat is enabled on this box
after about 12 hours it seems to lock up...  this machine is a firewall / 
router which is configured with 3 networks... 

1 - ADSL - DLINK 300+
2 - DMZ
3 - LocalNet

I have checked the logs and nothing.

Any help would be a big help
regards,
Dennis

I had a similar problem also with a firewall machine. It turned out to
be a bad hard disk.

When you say "it locks up" what its the real situation? have you
sniffed with ethereal/sniffit or another sniffer to see where i how
the traffic goes or doesnt go?
