Quoting Larry Nieves <lanieves@...> from ml.softs.gtk-gnutella.users:
:I have a laptop running behind the DSL modem, which does the NAT and
:port forwarding.

Then you most probably fall into the situation I was describing.

:
:I can telnet into the DSL modem, which is running a BusyBox v1.1.2
:(linux 2.6.13), but I don't know how to inspect its NAT tables. There's
:no iptables command in that environment.

That's unfortunate. And you'd need to resize them as well.  For instance
passing "hashsize=16384" to the nf_conntrack module.

Either look for a better DSL modem, or configure a dedicated small PC to
be your NAT gateway, with a direct link to the DSL modem (who would then
no longer do any NAT or forwarding, just route the packets to the linux
box).  It's probably best if you can DHCP your linux box to the DSL modem
in that case.

But that requires a much more advanced configuration and understanding
of what is going on so that you can write the proper set of iptable rules
to do what you need.
