I tried to use the Firestarter application as suggested above, and it worked for me. Then, I saved its configuration files, purged Firestarter, restarted my system, and started to execute the commands from its /etc/firestarter/sysctl-tuning script in sequence, at each step checking "wget livejournal.com" to work. Executing the first two commands "echo 0 > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward" and "echo 0 > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/conf/all/log_martians" did not help, since "wget livejournal.com" was still hanging. The third command, "echo 0 > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/tcp_timestamps", made "wget livejournal.com" working fine.
So I have written the only one command "net.ipv4.tcp_timestamps = 0" in my /etc/sysctl.conf file and am having the full internet connection, not a connection just to its part limited by google.com and some other sites. I'm suggesting this workaround for this bug until Ubuntu's Linux kernel configuration is corrected - I'm using the latest Ubuntu Intrepid version updated now and this bug is being reproduced here. -- Cannot connect to router/server/proxy with bad TCP Wscale implementation https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/89160 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
