Hello all. I have an OpenBSD box running as my firewall (v4.2, PPPoE with AT&T over a Netopia 2210). I am using pf to share the internet connection to the local network, which is made up of two Mac laptops (one 10.5.3, one 10.4.6) and one Mac Mini (10.5.3).
>From the local network, I can connect to some websites just fine. Other websites, however, can't load and eventually time out. The sites that time out are the same among all three Macs, and I get the same behavior on all three Macs whether I use Safari or Firefox. I can nslookup all the websites that don't load and I get IP addresses back, so I know it's not a DNS issue. I've rebooted all machines, including the firewall, so it doesn't seem to be a cache issue. Compounding the problem is that I can connect to the firewall and run Firefox (sending the X window to my mac laptop), and I can connect just fine to every web site I can think of. Websites I can't connect to include (but are not limited to) www.washingtonpost.com, www.latimes.com, www.cnet.com, www.chicagotribune.com. So it appears as though the OpenBSD box is communicating to the internet just fine, but for some reason it's not packetforwarding some of the traffic. I'm really stumped by this one. Does anybody have any idea of how to start tracking down what's going wrong? -- View this message in context: http://www.nabble.com/Can-connect-to-some-sites-but-not-others-tp17683557p17683557.html Sent from the openbsd user - misc mailing list archive at Nabble.com.
