Here's an Arachne-related question that maybe some of you Linux mavens can
help me with.
We have a LAN where I work. A linux box on the LAN connects to the
internet using a garden-variety PPP dialup.
DOS and Windoze machines on the LAN can access the internet by specifying
the IP of the Linux as their "gateway". I use Arachne under MS-DOS 6.2.
When I run "dmesg" on the Linux, I often find the output cluttered with
cryptic msgs like the following:
MASQ: failed TCP/UDP checksum from 199.29.68.123!
MASQ: failed TCP/UDP checksum from 64.124.124.162!
These are just representative examples, by no means the only ones. If I
do a "nslookup" on the IP's, I find that they are invariably web sites
that I have browsed with Arachne on a DOS machine. Not all the sites I
visit with Arachne produce this phenomenon, but many do.
I can view the same pages using Lynx on the Linux, or MSIE under Windoze,
and nothing gets added to the dmesg. Only Arachne causes it.
Anybody have any ideas?
