Hi folks, I''ve been poking at this for days and I have not been able to find anything applicable in the archives. If I''m wrong, please let me know. Situation: loc interface = eth0/10.10.0.22 eth1 and eth2 are bridged and use public IP space net br0:eth2 dmz br0:eth1 99.9% works great. The loc interface only really exists for admin purposes. Traffic between net and dmz works exactly as expected. I can ssh or webmin to the fw via the loc. However, sometimes I cannot connect at all. Other times I connect fine and the connection drops when I right in the middle of something. The IP of my desktops are 10.10.0.164 and 10.10.0.164. A status.txt is included. I have checked the logs and the fw does not seem to be blocking. If it did, why would I be able to connect at all? If I run a tcpdump from the console and watch all of this, I see nothing wrong. Packets move back and forth seemingly okay. If I run an strace on the sshd process I see things working okay as well. In short, I''m stumped. What is dropping the connection? The FW? My desktops? One desktop is XP, the other is Ubuntu. Any points are appreciated. Thanks, mikeS -- Michael F.
