Hi! I have 2 ADSL accounts at 012 (I love to pay them twice ;-), as well as an expensive frame-relay (aquanet). I installed and configured a Linux router (based on Devil-Linux) to serve as a router, firewall, etc. It uses both of the lines (FR+ADSL) for connection with the world, and splits the internal traffic to DMZ and clients.
Recently, without changing anything in my configuration, I noticed a strange behavior: After a while, the ADSL connection stops to serve HTTP requests (i.e.: I can FTP, ping, and traceroute any site, and even surf the website of 012, but not (HTTP)-surf any external website). If I disconnect and re-connect, everything is perfect again (until a while... and so on and so forth...). Is it possible that some ISP's (012 in my case) "block" IP masquerading? If it's true, then who are the ISP's that do it? And if it isn't true, then what is the reason for this strange behavior? Contrary to businesses with hundreds of employees that use one cheapy private ADSL account, I already pay dozens of thousands of Dollars yearly for 2.5 users (including me), so paying more (or in other words: "upgrading" my deal to the business one) is not a viable solution for me. -- Eli Marmor [EMAIL PROTECTED] CTO, Founder Netmask (El-Mar) Internet Technologies Ltd. __________________________________________________________ Tel.: +972-9-766-1020 8 Yad-Harutzim St. Fax.: +972-9-766-1314 P.O.B. 7004 Mobile: +972-50-23-7338 Kfar-Saba 44641, Israel ================================================================= To unsubscribe, send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the word "unsubscribe" in the message body, e.g., run the command echo unsubscribe | mail [EMAIL PROTECTED]
