Hello,
Thanks. The network in concern uses PLDTs DSL. I don't use squid though, so if squid is the culprit...it would probably be on PLDTs side. I'll try to look in to it some more. Btw, yup...I mean having problems with the web login. Yahoo messenger logins still work perfectly.
I've just observed some puzzling behaviour since my last post however. Using the linux box as a router with the kernel that had some stripped down networking options, some of the clients were in fact able to login to mail.yahoo.com, however they were not able to logout. After a few hours however, they were not able to anymore.
Using a windows PC as a gateway/router causes no problems however. All the nodes in the small network are able to login any site at all. The inconsistency of it all is quite boggling. I still can't shake the feeling however that it may be due to some network option configuration in my new kernel since the problems started exactly after upgrading to 2.4.28.
