XP ICS

Ok ...

I have a little network connected to ADSL (pptp). The connection is shared by my gentoo box to another gentoo box ... (masquerade, etc)... everything work well !

But ! I need for a week or two to replace the gentoo gateway with a Windows XP box ... So under XP i activated ICS, tried to ping yahoo,google, etc on the other gentoo pc ... no problem!

But for some sites, like google (which can be useful

) mozilla, lynx, wget, are all resolving, connecting, but wait with the following string : "wait for www.google.fr" ... When i come back to my gentoo gateway, no more problem ...

I know it is not gentoo, but you're my last hope

AFAIR this is a problem with the MTU size.
Set it to (max.) 1460 on every machine 'behind' the XP gateway

I set it to 1460, 1450, 1492 ... no change ... Always this "waiting for"

:cry:

mhh, so what are your exact settings on the two boxes?

ping is working?
no packet loss?
traceroute is working?
does this happen to ALL http-sites or just a few of them?
is it only http related? what about https/telnet/smtp/...?

XP as dhcp server (should be activated by ICS)
dns server should be (i think) the XP box, otherwise your ISP's dns servers
latest SP/HF installed on the XP box? (i know, there are thousands :twisted:

)

- ping works
- no packet loss
- traceroute works
- happens only for some sites (google, yahoo, gentoo, etc.) --> www.gentoo.org works but forums.gentoo.org doesn't !!!!!!!!!!!!!

- smtp works, don't know for telnet nor https

No software installed for a long time on xp... no service pack

tracepath fr.yahoo.com
tracepath www.google.fr

both of them indicate "no reply" after a few hops ...

eg fr.yahoo.com indicate "no reply" after (included) bas1.35.uk1.yahoo.com

(I don't know if this results are normal or not)

i don't understand why it works under linux and not on windows ... and only for a few site ...

Only one checkbox to share the connection, i think i am smart enough to achieve this !

I'm using an almost identical setup (except with a cable modem instead of adsl). It works perfectly fine here.
