I have a debian box running pppoe and ipmasq set up as a router/firewall for a home network. I have a Win98 machine behind the firewall.
I can't read news on the win98 machine (using my ISPs news server, news1.sympatico.ca). I've tried a number of news clients (OE5, Free Agent, etc) on the win98 box - this seems to be a problem with the ipmasq, I think. I could read news on the Win98 machine fine when it was connected directly to the ADSL modem, running its own PPPOE driver. I can connect to other news servers (such as pyramid.sjgames.com) from the win98 machine; the problem seems specific to the sympatico server. Does anyone have any suggestions for things I can try to solve this problem? Thanks, - Marc
