Linksys connectivity problem using 2.6.0-test4

Hi,
I'm having trouble connecting to the http based admin ports on my LinkSys VPN router (BEFVP41) using the 2.6.0-test4 kernel on Redhat 9. The connectivity works fine with 2.4.20-19.9 from Redhat as well as other 2.4.x kernels. With the 2.6 kernel, I can ping the machine, but can't connect to the http ports (80, 8080)

# uname -a
Linux chuckie 2.6.0-test4-fh1 #1 Mon Sep 1 05:43:07 CDT 2003 i686 athlon i386 GNU/Linux

# nmap 192.168.3.1

Trying 192.168.3.1...
telnet: connect to address 192.168.3.1: Connection refused

The VPN router is doing NAT correctly for both kernels, and connectivity to services other than the router itself is fine.

I am not sure where to even begin debugging this problem.
