Hi all. Does anyone here know how I can diagnose exactly where / why the following problem occurs...?
I've got a typical adsl setup (in the UK) with my internal (192.168.0.*) network behind a nat router. Everything works perfectly (!) except for 1 problem, which is: If I try to view http://www.osnews.com from any of my linux (current debian lenny) boxen using iceweasel or epiphany, the page starts to load but never finishes (the spinner spins for ever). I'm baffled because the problem goes away if I do any one of the following things: a) I use "wget -p http://www.osnews.com"; instead of iceweasel or epiphany, or b) I change my workstation's mtu from 1500 to 1400 or c) I get my adsl router to request a public ip address in the address space 96.x.x.x or 97.x.x.x rather than 78.x.x.x (I can do this, since my ISP provides various disparate dhcp ranges). or d) I use firefox under WinXP (yeuchh). While I can get rid of the problem by doing any of these things, I would prefer to be able to go to my ISP a say "Hey, your network's broken, this one-line command (run from my linux machine) proves it's broken". Does anyone know what that one-line command is? (I'm thinking of some kind of "ping -s 1500" style thing, but I don't understand enough about tcp/ip to know the exact answer) Thanks for any help you can offer. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
