/* HINT: Search archives @ http://www.indyramp.com/masq/ before posting! /* ALSO: Don't quote this header. It makes you look lame :-) */ Hello, I'm new to ip-masqerading and also to this list. I have a problem that I couldn't fix at all. I really don't know if it's related to masquerading but I cannot be sure. I have at home a minimal network, 2 PC's, a Linux one and a Windows one. The Linux PC should do (also) the work as gateway and firewall. It is connected to an ISP over an 33.6k modem. I set everything as good as I could figure out from the HOWTO. For the moment I use just the minimal rules as given in the HOWTO. In principle the things work but, there are some web pages I cannot access at all. I thought that it could be the mentioned MTU problem and I set the MTU to 1500, and checked with ifconfig that it was set to that value. It was (at least ifconfig said that MTU=1500). But the problems continued to be there. After some more checking I realised that I cannot reach that pages even from the Linux computer (this is why I'm in doubt that masquerading is the problem). I tried to get some help from the ISP but had no success. I asked a friend of mine who's using the same ISP to try to connect to those pages and it was no problem for him (he has a Win PC connected directly to the ISP). I have no real experience with networking and I hope some of you could give me a hint or help me somehow. Last but not least: I'm using Slackware 7.0 with a custom compiled 2.2.17 kernel and ipchains 1.3.9.
