Some background...
I use a Netcom modem/router/hub/firewall which runs embedded Linux for my
connection to the internet...on my LAN I have one Mandrake 8.1 box and two WinME
boxes. The Mandrake box is a simple server running Apache, Postfix and Squid
mainly.
The Netcom uses port forwarding on ports 80 & 25 (ONLY) to the
Mandrake box.
As you may have guessed, I have a problem... 8-)
The problem is this:
I receive mail and everything else just fine, and I can send small emails
(under about 10-15k) just fine, but cannot send anything larger. If I try it
will start to send then slow gradually until it comes to a grinding halt and
eventually times out.
As near as I can determine it's related to this:
My knowledge is very limited, but obviously (?) I need to forward ICMP
messages to the Mandrake box.
My questions: How? What other ports should be forwarded?
Thanks...
