OK - gathering that the issue is that this system has worked well for
___ amount of days/weeks/months/years and all of a sudden, this is a
problem...

Have you updated or restarted this Mandrake system?

What is output of iptables -L -n on this system ?

Does 'SNF' stand for something important?

Where did the 'firewall' rules/scheme come from? A set of
scripts/instructions from some URL?
