ok i moved house got a new ISP and router
setup went fine and have no problems in wincack
setup appears to be fine in gentoo BUT some things just dont work, i can browse websites and connect to IRC but GAIM just does nothing when i try and connect and portage hardly ever works also, abcde also just sits there and does nothing when it looks for the CD name and track info
basically some programs just seem to have no conncetion while others work fine...

d-link router

And what is the configuration of your network ?
| Code: | lsmod
ifconfig -a
route -n
cat /etc/resolv.conf
cat /etc/hosts
cat /etc/conf.d/net |

That just sounds as if your new ISP does not have all ports opened. You are not by any chance on a campus/university network?
Contact them for a list of blocked ports. Concerning portage you might use emerge-websync. |

You may want to look into the possibility that the dlink router is handling the MTU issues incorrectly. DSL ISPs that use PPPoE seem to be particularly susceptible to this. It's all rather nasty technical network geekery, so I'll cut to the chase. If you are using a DSL router/firewall with PPPoE, check the value of the MTU. If it's 1500, try setting it to 1492 and see what happens.
I'm not sure how to do this on a D-Link router, but it should be possible.
Geek synopsis if you're looking to do further Googling: It looks like a PMTU problem. This can arise when NAT devices are over aggressive in dropping ICMP packets. |
