The Web Page I am trying access is www.columbiahouse.com. I try to access it from either Netscape or Lynx but both get hung up on waiting for the host to reply. This is on my machine inside my firewall.
My set up is a two machine network. One is my gateway with a masquarading firewall with the following rules: ipfwadm -F -p deny ipfwadm -F -a m -S 192.168.0.2/255.255.255.0 -D 0.0.0.0/0 I can get to the web site from the gateway using Lynx (can't test Netscapr. No X.), but it cannot complete a traceroute request to the site. Seems strange to me. What I get when I type traceroute www.columbiahouse.com on the firewall machine: traceroute to www.columbiahouse.com (206.25.182.132), 30 hops max, 40 byte packets 1 server11.local.general.dialup.unt.edu (129.120.50.11) 146.731 ms 135.095 ms 139.239 ms 2 129.120.50.250 (129.120.50.250) 139.01 ms 136.072 ms 139.295 ms 3 utd-t1-s5-6.texan.state.tx.us (141.198.234.129) 168.984 ms 156.251 ms 149.173 ms 4 shb3-h1-0.capnet.state.tx.us (141.198.14.1) 178.957 ms 165.989 ms 159.252 ms 5 inet-gw.capnet.state.tx.us (141.198.1.1) 158.974 ms 166.212 ms 169.248 ms 6 12.127.180.161 (12.127.180.161) 242.778 ms 205.951 ms 189.294 ms 7 br1-a350s3.distx.ip.att.net (12.127.2.22) 169.041 ms 185.775 ms 159.35 ms 8 br2-h11.n54ny.ip.att.net (12.127.15.229) 248.99 ms 236.03 ms 209.274 ms 9 gr1-a3100s1.n54ny.ip.att.net (192.205.31.245) 239.039 ms 195.632 ms 289.295 ms 10 nr1-h11.napny.ip.att.net (192.205.31.218) 228.992 ms 195.716 ms 209.269 ms 11 2-sprint-nap.internetmci.net (192.157.69.48) 249.062 ms 235.758 ms 259.242 ms 12 core5-hssi0-0-0.WestOrange.cw.net (204.70.10.229) 229.058 ms 255.061 ms 229.334 ms 13 bordercore2.WestOrange.cw.net (166.48.6.1) 238.954 ms 215.798 ms 229.326 ms 14 columbia-house.WestOrange.cw.net (166.48.238.6) 258.933 ms 226.294 ms 219.256 ms 15 * * * Now I have just tried upping my kernel to 2.0.36 to find out it still uses PPP v2.2.0. But the new kernel does not fix the problem. I have also tried opening the firewall (default policy of accept.) Again, to no avail. Any other suggestions? Thanx in advance. -- Paul Miller [EMAIL PROTECTED]
