Hi,
My network consists of my Mandrake 9.1 box and 3 Win98 machines. All 4
machines and my Alcatel ADSL modem are connected to a hub and I run iptables
with masquerading to allow the Win98 machines access to the internet. Until
recently, all machines could reach any URL. But recently, the Win98 machines
cannot reach certain URLs. I suspected a DNS problem so I tried equivalent IP
addresses but that didn't help. The strange thing is that **most** URLs are
still reachable and I haven't noticed any common factor in the unreachable
ones. Also, the URLs that can't be reached on the 3 Win98 machines can be
reached by Mozilla on the Mandrake machine. Of course, I also cheched if the
URLs could be reached from Windows machines not connected to my network. So
the problem does seem to be here.
Any ideas where to look? I'm enclosing two examples of unreachable URLs:
www.maariv.co.il
www.simil.vze.com
TIA
Are you using Squid as a proxy server? If so, restart the Squid service.
I've seen this behaviour when the Squid process maxes out.
Cheers,
Henry
