I haven't personally seen this, but I wonder if IPv6 has anything to do
with it.  As root run:

echo "alias net-pf-10 off" >> /etc/modprobe.conf

Reboot and IPv6 is disabled.  May or may not help, but name resolution
in Mozilla is all jacked up with v6 enabled. Perhaps the same is true of
ethereal.
