PPPOE, ipmasq, and news
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
