Both are running 2.2.6. The machine at work is connected via ethernet. The home machine is using 'ppp' over a modem. At home, I cannot connect to http://slashdot.org. At work, I have no problems. > > Try setting `tcp_extensions="NO"' in /etc/rc.conf and rebooting, then > > trying ppp. I've tried setting tcp_extensions to YES and NO. I also tried the other combinations by playing with net.inet.tcp.rfc1323 and net.inet.tcp.rfc1644. No combination worked. By the way, my machine at work has tcp_extensions set to YES and that machine can connect. It really seems to be related to 'ppp'. > Any other ideas, or any other information I can provide that may help? Some more info from my machine: using 'netstat', I find that the socket state is in FIN_WAIT_2. It stays this way until it times out. Here's a 'tcpdump' when I do 'lynx http://slashdot.org' (slashdot.org is 206.150.185.149, my machine is 131.225.105.170): 21:51:06.575553 131.225.105.170.1035 > 206.150.185.149.80: S 283554942:283554942(0) win 16384 <mss 1460,nop,wscale 0,nop,nop,timestamp 2975 0,nop,nop,ccnew[|tcp]> (DF) 21:51:06.763916 206.150.185.149.80 > 131.225.105.170.1035: S 717708966:717708966(0) ack 283554943 win 31856 <mss 1460,nop,nop,timestamp 3767766 0,nop,wscale 0> (DF) 21:51:06.764019 131.225.105.170.1035 > 206.150.185.149.80: . ack 1 win 17376 <nop,nop,timestamp 2975 3767766> (DF) 21:51:06.766804 131.225.105.170.1035 > 206.150.185.149.80: P 1:469(468) ack 1 win 17376 <nop,nop,timestamp 2975 3767766> (DF) Has anyone else (besides Christopher) seen this problem? -- Rich ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Rich Neswold | PGP: 0A C8 A5 76 DF 8E E1 B3 rneswold@mcs.net | F3 97 BE 73 DA CD 4B C9 http://www.mcs.net/~rneswold | To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
