Ok, here's a question. Did you recompile your kernel or anything?
If you did recompile, did you enable IP forwarding? I ask because
it looks like the problem is that packets aren't getting past your
linux box. Since you can ping the linux side, the link is just
fine. If you have the same kernel which came with the dist. then
I *think* it has IP forwarding enabled (I'm not sure about this,
since I didn't compile that kernel myself). You may be able to
discover if it's enabled by looking at some /proc/?? file, but I'm
not too sure. Anyone else have a thought?
