Subject: Possible weird TCP/IP bug

I have 3 machines running 2.4.22 (Slackware 9.1) and only one of them,
which happens to be my firewall, sends out TCP sequence numbers starting
with "0". This does not seem right to me. If this is not a bug, I
apoligize...if anyone thinks it might be, please tell me if you need
more in-depth info.

You should post this with more information to [email protected]. Please
describe your setup a bit. Where do the packets originate. Are they
forwarded by the firewall or emitted by it ? In the later case, are
they generated by a local process or are they replies ? etc...
