The problem is that my wife's windows box will make external connections but won't finish downloading anything but the smallest pages. It also seems to timeout on network connections on the intranet. The odd thing is that there is a dual-boot Linux/Windows machine that is having no problems whatsoever also on the network. The windows box in question gets a proper ip address from DHCP and can ping other boxes and external hosts. Pings from the other machines on the network to the windows box are ok, but occasionally packets get dropped. If the machine is put on a direct connection to the internet, it has no problems.
The firewall is a Debian 2.2 fresh install with a custom built kernel connected to a DSL line. It is running the ipmasq .deb, samba and providing dhcp to the internal network. Portsentry is monitoring incoming connections, but I've checked /etc/hosts.deny and there's nothing there that shouldn't be. I've tested the cables, switched the hub connections, switched out network cards and reinstalled the drivers on the windows box several times. Anyone want to take a shot at solving this one?
