hi,

see the article. it explains fairly well that it depends on the network
_behind_, mostly ATM, which works based on so-called cells.

if your paket fits in N cells without using an additional cell only
partly, it's perfect.

HTH,

Dear gentelmen/madams,

i would like to thank you all for you suggestion. They were to the point.
Now, one doubt raised up in regards to man 4 pppoe and the link suggested below.

In theory, what should it be the maximum MSS over a PPPoE interface;
1452 or 1454 ?

Thanks once more.

see the manpage pppoe(4)
in section "MTU/MSS ISSUES"

In that case, check man 4 pppoe in the section labelled "MTU/MSS ISSUES"

This may be a long-shot, but I once had similar symptoms on a network
with a PPPoE DSL connection.  Everything would work as I expected, but
certain web sites would just never load.

Try lowering the MTU on the PPPoE interface, it worked for me.

In /etc/ppp/ppp.conf:

set mtu max 1480

Try setting various values starting at 1480 and lowering the value
until the web page problem is fixed.

web sites not accessible

2007-02-10 Thread Gustavo Rios

Dear list members,

i am trying to build a firewall. Up to now, everything is ok, except
for some http sites that cannot be shown.

I am really having a hard time trying to figure it out what is happening !
I believe something is wrong between rule 7 to 10 ( i am on network
defined by interface sis1).

I can ping world outside my private network, as also telnet, ssh, etc ...

I can access everything from inside the firewall itself. The problem
is that some web sites does not appear when accessing from the local
desktop, the scenario is the following:

access from  access to status
firewall  ok
desktopwww.unix.org   nothing appears
desktopwww.gmail.com  ok

Does anybody have any ideia about what is wrong (again, ssh, telnet,
ntp access from wihtin dekstop is 100% ok, only some web sites)


here goes my firewall rules:



#
# Macros
#


IIF_0 = "sis0"
IIF_1 = "sis1"
IIF_2 = "sis2"
EIF = "pppoe0"


#
# Tables

table  persist const { 10/8 172.16/12 192.168/16 }
table  persist const { 224/4 }
table  persist { 10/8 172.16/12 192.168/16 !10/25
!10.0.0.128/26 !10.0.0.192/26 }
