| |
I may have discovered a problem with with ppp or ip masquerading. The symptom is this:
For days I was attempting to go to a http://www.iomega.com from a machine behind an ip masquerading firewall running kernel 2.2.2. DNS would resolve, and the browsers would wait indefinitely for a response. However, I could reach the site using lynx from the firewall.
My ppp mru/mtu was set to 512 for performance reasons. I wondered if this might be the problem, and allowed pppd to use 1524 which is what my ISP wants to negotiate. The browser on the private network address was now able to contact the site.
Might this be a kernel or ipchains problem?
