I did have a similar problem a while back.

I found the solution was to make a registry entry to reduce the
MTU to 1490.  I know this is well documented, but if  you've not
already done this, then its worth a try.

If you can't find the details on the web let me know and I'll see
if I what I can russell up.

hope this helps

Subject: [Masq]  not getting any www traffic

/* HINT: Search archives @ http://www.indyramp.com/masq/ before posting! 
/* ALSO: Don't quote this header. It makes you look lame :-) */

i'm using Redhat 7.2 and the simple rc.firewall ver 0.63 word for word. 
I was getting a good connection for a while (about a month) over my AT&T 
cable line and just suddenly I wasn't getting any www. traffic from any 
of the masqed machines.  I get a connection icon, i can ping any 
computer in or out, I get msn messenger messages, and I can download and 
others can download from my morpheus peer-to-peer program; but to my 

dismay I can't get any www, telnet, and ftp traffic.  I checked and 
rechecked everything (connections, wires, nics, yada yada), I even 
backed up my configuration files and reformatted my harddrive.  The 
masqed machines are windows based by the way and they get there ips from 
my linux box. I've been trying to solve this most perplexing problem for 
days. Any help will be greatly appreciated.  Thank you in advance.

I've tried this already and it had no affect.  I just read something at AT&Ts website about them filtering on port 80 for security reasons. There doing this (they say) because of virus threats and other security breaches.  They say that the only people that will be affected are people running web servers on there residential network.  Do you think that this might be the culprit.  Any enlightenment will be appreciated.
