What kernel is this? I'm getting this problem when connecting to Asheron's
Call with kernel 2.2.15. 2.2.13 works fine. Port usage is:
Initial UDP Outbound 207.46.204.* 9004
Subsequent UDP Outbound 207.46.204.* 9000, 9008, 9012
Subsequent UDP Inbound 207.46.204.* 9001, 9001, 9004, 9005, 9008, 9009, 9012, 9013
I haven't looked into it much, but there it is.
