Oops! iptables and kernel 2.4.5

["Feyr Tlincail" <feyr_t@hotmail.com>]

for a few months now my gateway box keeps Oops'ing under some circumstance 
(i'm thinking when there's a lot of packets being passed back and forth). 
the box is an HP Vectra VL2 4/66 (486 DX 66 mhz) with 16 megs of ram and a 
500 megs hard disk (150 swap). it has 2 network card (one 3com using driver 
3c509 and the other is a no name using module "ne"), both are ISA (no pci 
bus at all). the connection to the net is an Alcatel Speedtouch Home modem 
(ADSL) connected to eth1 (the "ne" card)

here is what i have found, im using nmap -sT -sU ip:
if I nmap a box on the internet from my gateway it works fine (50ish 
seconds). if i nmap the gateway from a local box it also work (1000ish 
seconds) but if i nmap a box on the internet from a local box, i get an Oops 
on the gateway (pasted at the end)

nmap is how i can replicate it easily, but it does that with a lot of other 
applications too (kazaa being one)
