I have two machines that I recently installed etch onto fresh, not upgraded.
Immediately after install I started noticing both machines randomly blocking all incoming traffic/ports on the external nic. The block only seems to remain in place for about a minute or two. While theblock is in place, I can ssh into the machine indirectly by first ssh'ing into another Debian (sarge) machine that is on the same local area network, and from there I can get into etch machines so I know the internal nic is unaffected and it's not a system hang. I'm running the same vanilla kernel on both: linux-image-2.6-686. This does not happen on any of my Debian sarge machines. Flushing iptables has no effect, iptables shows no blocking in place at all. Any ideas as to what could be causing this?
