I've got a weird problem, I can't get to www.adobe.com, everywhere else is fine. My dns server correctly reports that the IP is 192.150.18.101, and I can ping it:
ping www.adobe.com PING www.wip3.adobe.com (192.150.18.101) 56(84) bytes of data. 64 bytes from 192.150.18.101: icmp_seq=1 ttl=242 time=197 ms 64 bytes from 192.150.18.101: icmp_seq=2 ttl=242 time=196 ms 64 bytes from 192.150.18.101: icmp_seq=3 ttl=242 time=196 ms 64 bytes from 192.150.18.101: icmp_seq=4 ttl=242 time=196 ms ^C --- www.wip3.adobe.com ping statistics --- 4 packets transmitted, 4 received, 0% packet loss, time 3010ms rtt min/avg/max/mdev = 196.285/196.617/197.103/0.299 ms but none of my web browsers do anything other than time out. Even if I put the IP addy in the url. So I don't think it's a DNS fault. The times are about right for US-west from UK. I've even tried IE6/wine :( My gateway (a busybox) is running a firewall based on the BLFS version of a few releases ago. And I'm worried about that 192.0.0..0/8 being close to 192.168.0.0./16. My local network is 172.16.1.0/24. The ADSL ISP says they ain't blocking it. And I checked that ADSL router's filters are off. Anyone seen anything like this before? Where do I look? I thought the rules: iptables -N INPUT -m state --state ESTABLISHED,RELATED -j ACCEPT iptables -A FORWARD -i ! net -m state --state NEW -j ACCEPT iptables -A FORWARD -s 172.16.1.0/24 -i lan -j ACCEPT let anything originating from the lan get out to the net, and then any replies get back. But I have so say iptables baffle me at times.
