Hi!

We are using linux machine as a firewall in our firm. We upgraded
our machine recently and in the same time switched to newer kernels
from 1.2 series which served well. Problem is that TIS fwtk v2.1
has problems with linux kernel (at least it seems so). If I use
2.0.35 or 2.0.36-pre13 plug-gw sometimes freezes the whole machine.
With 2.1.125 kernel this doesn't happen but then http-gw doesn't
work correctly. When web page has form which use POST-method result page
doesn't come back correctly. I always get following requester from
Netscape: "A network error occured while Netscape was receiving data.
(Network Error: Connection reset by peer). Try connecting again."
Machine which serves as firewall is K6-2 w/64 MB. Network cards are
3com 3c509s. So does anyone have a idea how I could debug this?
I can use tcpdump if you tell which options should be used.

PS. I've also tried 2.1.126-pre2 and there's no change.
