I see strange things.
When I use bittorrent (azureus or bittorrent-gui), at the same time as
iptables (for nat and internet access for my ibook), when I stop a
download
or exit from one of this apps my external network goes down. I have
tried the same without iptables loaded and it works fine.

Various linux based firewall forums have posts describing the same
behavior as the OP of this thread.

Here is one relatively recent example:

The report seems rather inconclusive, I would appreciate it if the
original poster could narrow down the problem.
