    Hi all.

    I'm having some trouble with a 7.3 installation freezing up on
    certain types of network connections. It's a vanilla 7.3 install on
    an ultra5. There are two network cards, a 1-port and a 4-port hme,
    and both have been configured in various ways to do some NAT. The
    lockups seem to occur primarily on tcp traffic. I can ping IPs and
    addresses, but when I try something like lynx or mozilla access to a
    site, the box locks up.

    This is newer behavior, up until a week ago, everything worked fine.
    I've primarily been tweaking firewall rules and ip configuration, but
    I didn't think any of that could cause a lockup. Are there any known
    issues with multiple IPs/devices, firewalls, and NAT on linux/sparc?
    I tried a newer 2.4.18 kernel, but am new to sparc and can't get past
    a 'VFS: mounted root fs (ext2) read-only' prompt. Any ideas about all
    this would be great.

    Thanks
    Jeff
