Subject: cobalt raq2 as a router - weird
connection issues
[...]
What it's doing is when I enable NAT and try to go
out to the internet from the lan, things get weird. Some things work and
others don't, and I have no idea what the pattern is. For instance, I
can get to my school's website at www.uakron.edu, but not the one down the road
at www.kent.edu. I can get to google
and do a search, but if i try to go to any of the url's (like tldp.org), it won't. I can even get to a
server I have a shell on, at http://irc.shroomery.org/~link BUT
can't get to http://irc.shroomery.org/~link/stats.
Same server, but the latter hangs. The connections hang on 'waiting for
site'. I can also ssh to that server, but can't sftp, it won't
connect. I can duplicate this on several machines. The web issues
I can duplicate with both IE, firefox and lynx. I can get to all those
sites fine from the cobalt itself. It's just the machines behind
it.

try lowering your MTU a bit, I guess it's at 1500 right now, try lets say,
1492 or even a bit lower.
I've had that issue with my ISP when they changed some of their IT
equipment.
