I have now spent 17
hours on a problem, and decided I may need some help.
I have tried to get
a Redhat 7.0 box to attach to Bigpond ADSL. I had it connected, pinging
and ftp'ing 16 hours and 55 mins ago. It can also smtp, pop3, telnet,
everything.
But I still cannot
browse a web site.
When I go into
Netscape or Lynx, type in a web site, it just sits there and hangs. If I
connect the box to another ISP via modem, it browses OK.
I am using RP, and
have tried everything I can find in mailling lists
including:-
(1) Manually
lowing MTU on network card and ppp connection, all the way down below
1000. Editing adsl-connect to ensure this is done.
(2) Got my
browser to try to use melbourne.cache.telstra.net.au on ports 80, 3128 and 8080
(and all other Telstra caches I could find).
(3) Disabled
all IP Masquerading (eventually it will be a gateway), all other ethernet cards,
IP routing.
Any suggestions
would be welcome. Although I am connecting in Brisbane, everything on port
80 is going through a transparant proxy in Melbourne.
Could it be a
Brisbane problem?
