Good Morning: This has been annoying me and I was wondering if anyone knew the answer. When I connect to the Internet (through my linux box as a gateway) sometimes I cannot view certain web pages on five different computers. On the network where my box acts as a gateway, I have two PCs running windows 98 2nd and I cannot go to sites such as microsoft, buy.com, linux.com (at certain times, other times it works fine) and a couple of other ones like vsttech.com. My linux box running slackware 7.0 and enlightenment is also unable to connect to these sights using netscape or lynx. I run ping to these sights and I get 100% packet loss. Every so often, one or two of these sights (such as microsoft) actually work. When I reconnect to the net with my mac, I also cannot view any of these sights, ever. When I reconnect with my other pc that my sister uses, I can surf ALL of these web sights with no problem whatsoever. She is running windows 98 2nd configured exactly the same as my other windows machines. The only difference is that it is not running through my gateway. Is it possible that my gateway is causing some sort of problem? Why would my mac not be able to connect to certain sights when my sister's pc has no trouble? I realize that this might be unanswerable, but could someone maybe help me out here. Should I be looking for something? Any help is appreciated.
