hi list, i recently installed AOL on my windows2000 router box, but soon realized that winroute pro won't be able to route the AOL connection... i gave up on that. so far so bad, no biggie. the real annoying thing about that is, that after i uninstalled AOL 6 Software from the computer, winroute won't pass on TCP packets that are somewhat bigger than a few hundred bytes or so... to illustrate that, imagine the following scenario: --- i have a linux box behind that windows firewall/route. i am connected from the win2k box to the internet using plain dialup (which worked w/o problems before btw). now i go sit in front of my linux box and try to telnet into another box on the internet. that works well, until i try to transfer a bigger amount of TCP data, say a 'ls -l' output. then suddenly, the connection dies (simply no more data)... --- i consider this behaviour very wierd... but probably it is a windows registration problem. can anyone please help ? if not i am going to reinstall win2k on the machine. -Stefan - [To unsubscribe, send mail to majordomo@lists.gnac.net with "unsubscribe firewalls" in the body of the message.]
