Cannot access Web Page from behind firewall
The Web Page I am trying access is www.columbiahouse.com. I try to
access it from either Netscape or Lynx but both get hung up on waiting
for the host to reply. This is on my machine inside my firewall.
My set up is a two machine network. One is my gateway with a
masquarading firewall with the following rules:
ipfwadm -F -p deny
ipfwadm -F -a m -S 192.168.0.2/255.255.255.0 -D 0.0.0.0/0
I can get to the web site from the gateway using Lynx (can't test
Netscapr. No X.), but it cannot complete a traceroute request to the
site. Seems strange to me.
What I get when I type traceroute www.columbiahouse.com on the firewall
machine:

Now I have just tried upping my kernel to 2.0.36 to find out it still
uses PPP v2.2.0. But the new kernel does not fix the problem. I have
also tried opening the firewall (default policy of accept.) Again, to no
avail.
Any other suggestions? Thanx in advance.
