ip_conntrack table full dropping packets - Linuxers

29 Jun 2004

Hello linuxers,

Gotta a problem. I have RH= L 9.0 installed with a customized
   iptables filter+ squid proxy running on i= t.This linux box is natting
   a few ports into the internal netwk. where I ha= ve my web server+
   mail server installed. Now the PROBLEM is that, I keep ge= tting an
   error "ip_conntrack table full dropping packets" and the= n the
   internet connection speed on the clients drops like anything although   I have a leased
line here. I have googled bout the problem, it seems
   that = the 2.4.20 kernel has this vulnerability. I have downloaded
   2.4.24.tar.bz2 = kernel. But, I want to make sure whether installing
   this new kernel will so= lve the problem ???  If any1 could give me an
   alternative or guide me = how to go about installing this kernel
   without errors, I would gr8ly apprec= iate it.

Regards,

Abdul.
