Bug Description
2.6.27 introduced a networking issue, leaving sites like youtube.com, and microsoft.com not working via the web browsers on one of my systems (but not others). This system, like the others, was upgraded from Hardy.
I am unable to transfer files from archive.ubuntu.com via apt (http) or lftp (ftp, not http). I can connect via ftp and traverse and list files/directories, but when I try to "get", the transfer stays at 0 bytes.
Likewise, if I do a naive "telnet youtube.com 80"
GET / HTTP/1.1
HOST: youtube.com
I get a response, but when the web browser (firefox,opera) attempts to load these sites they do not progress - the 'transferring' status stays fixed. Some web sites (google, yahoo) work fine though.
When I reboot this system back to the 2.6.26-5 kernel everything works as it should. I tried setting rp_filter=0 on all, eth0, and default (instead of the Ubuntu default 1), as I have seen this and ecn settings cause site specific problems. Those settings had no effect in this case.
I only have remote access to this system. I am able to remotely ssh into this box, but I could not scp a file to it. I was able to scp to this host from a host on the same local network, however. I have tested this problem using both the wired ethernet adapter, and using a wireless adapter. The same problem existed in both configurations - some websites could be reached, while others could not.
The other Intrepid host on the same network did not have these connection issues.
