Looking now.  Thanks for the lead...

Yes and no. 

FC6 does work on a couple boxes at home through my linksys router there 
(wrt54g), but fc4 through fc6 doesn't work here (everything else I tried 
does work - win/mac/ubuntu/centos).  A 2.6.18 and 2.6.18.2 hand built 
kernel didn't help, a 2.6.12 kernel did.

So, the problem goes away when turning off the linksys fw or by using 
another OS.  Is it a linksys problem?

(btw, the firmware is up to date.)

Googling wireshark now...
