Network access fails unless tcpdump is running?



Hi,

I can not ping a remote host successfully unless I have "tcpdump -i
eth0" running, in which case, my network access works fine.

I am running Debian etch on a Dell Inspiron e1505 laptop. The eth0
address is static on my local LAN. Once tcpdump is running, the
laptop can access the network with no problems.

Any help or suggestions to solving this concern is really appreciated.

Thanks,

Marc
