[SLUG] Telstra Cable Modem - Heartbeat timeouts

[Grahame Manning Kelly <gmkelly@nospam.zip.com.au>]

Hi All,

well I have finally gone over to the dark side :-( with a Telstra Cable Modem
install (took only 4 days from order to install delivery).

I have a SuSE 6.4 system as the router/bridge/masquerader.

Works well except I get these very annoying packet rejects and heartbeat time outs.
as the snippet of log shows:

Jun 20 12:44:11 ringtail kernel: Packet log: input DENY eth0 PROTO=17 24.192.3.18:5051 
	144.132.219.35:1027 L=36 S=0x00 I=48488 F=0x0000 T=62 (#48)
	
Jun 20 12:44:59 ringtail bpalogin[320]: Timed out waiting for heartbeat - logging on
Jun 20 12:44:59 ringtail bpalogin[320]: Logged on as gkelly - successful at Tue Jun 20 12:44:59 2000   

I had assumed that ipchains had to have a rule to let DNS (I suspect) to work correctly 
(ie: the above 24.192.3.18:5051 issue) so I added the following rules but it made
no differnce at all.

ipchains -A input -p udp -s 24.192.0.0/18 5051 -d 144.132.219.35 1027 -j ACCEPT
ipchains -A input -p tcp -s 24.192.0.0/18 5051 -d 144.132.219.35 1027 -j ACCEPT

Can anyone using BPA enlighten me (please).....

Thanks Grahame
