Hi all,

I am a linux beginner and I am having a strange problem. I am using a linux server as a gateway and it frequently freezes for a minute or so hence the other machines connected to the network also lose connection to the outside world. I am noticing the following in log file:

kernel: packet log: input DENY eth1 PROTO=17

This means absolutely nothing to me!

I am not sure if the two are related but I am suspecting this, can someone please explain what is happening and suggest a solution

Many thanks,

Zac
