[gentoo-user] rdesktop can't connect to remote window systems anymore...

Hi,
I've setup my new gentoo linux system, mostly as a clone of the other,
but with some cleanup. As I need access to windows systems, I've also
installed rdesktop. BUT I can't get a connection to any of the windows
systems in my office! I always get the error message
"ERROR: send: Connection reset by peer"
On my OLD gentoo system, I DO get a connection!
The use flags for rdesktop are the same on both systems:
equery uses rdesktop
[ Searching for packages matching rdesktop... ]
[ Colour Code : set unset ]
[ Legen       : Left column  (U) - USE flags from make.conf ]
[             : Right column (I) - USE flags packages was installed with ]
[ Found these USE variables for net-misc/rdesktop-1.4.1 ]
 U I - - debug : Tells configure and the makefiles to build for debugging. Effects vary across packages, but generally it will at least add -g to CFLAGS. Remember to set FEATURES=nostrip too
     - - ipv6  : Adds support for IP version 6
     - - oss   : Adds support for OSS (Open Sound System)

So - what gives??
One difference: The old system runs w/ linux 2.6.17, the old one w/
2.6.16. If i run the sniffer tshark on my NEW system, I get packets with
TCP CHECKSUM INCORRECT.
Might that be the reason for my problems?
TIA,
Wolfgang
