For those of you who may not remember, my problem was not being able to reach certain URLs from Win98 machines connected to my ADSL line via my LINUX box. In the end, it turned out not to be a LINUX problem after all. I finally got around to using ethereal to try to see if the MTU was properly s

OK - I tried Guy's advice and came up with 1372 + 28 = 1400 which is exactly what was already suggested and didn't solve my problem. I had already set the Win98 MTU to 1400 in the registry according to the instructions in the ADSL-Bezeq HOWTO. I'm obviously doing something wrong. But I still hav

If the site blocks ICM's source-quench, PathMTUDiscovery algorithm fails and the client can not determine the appropriate MTU for the destination. Blocking all ICMP traffic is not always a good idea. Guy On Tue, 2003-11-18 at 07:55, Oleg Goldshmidt wrote: > "Geoffrey S. Mendelson" <[EMAIL PROTEC
