You could also play around with /proc/sys/net/ipv4/tcp_syncookies . See if one of the 4 combinations of ECN and SYN-COOKIES (S:0, E:0; S:1, E:1; S:0, E:1; S:1, E:0) gets you to hotmail. Why would anyone want to go to hotmail anyway? ;) -- Raju -- Raj Mathur [email protected] http://kandalaya.org/ GPG: 78D4 FC67 367F 40E2 0DD5 0FEF C968 D0EF CC68 D17F PsyTrance & Chill: http://schizoid.in/ || It is the mind that moves -- http://mm.glug-bom.org/mailman/listinfo/linuxers
