    SubjectRe: Problem with TCP

    I had some problem similar to you. I upgraded from 2.0.29 to 2.0.33 kernel
    from Slackware distribution. I had to remove complete the tcpip and reload
    it completly usinf 'pkgtool' command. The 'tcpip' was downloaded from
    <ftp://cdrom.com>. Everything is fine now. You may try this
    Good Luck
