Trouble with Mac behind Linux Firewall
For a colleague I setup a linux firewall for their home PPPOE DSL
connection. The firewall is just a PC with 2 NICs, and some home grown firewall scripts. The DSL connection uses PPPOE. Behind the firewall, he uses linux and windows machines without any trouble (after a little MTU tweaking). But he just purchased an iBook, which can see *most* of the internet. It cannot go to netscape.net or apple.com though. Strange, because the linux and windows machines can. He needs to be able to access these sites from the iBook. Any ideas? If you need more information, let me know. Thanks, Ken
