jeremy1701 Posted October 26, 2004 Report Share Posted October 26, 2004 (edited) I have what I think to be a unique situation... Running MDK 10.1C on a Compaq Armada m700 latptop. I can't login to webmail at https://secure.netfirms.com/memberswebmail. Odd. I don't get an error, it doesn't even get far enough to check my username and password. What happens, regardless of what i type in the forms, is the page "loads" for a while (much longer then a time out) and then I get an error saying that the page is empty. I can login from any other computer, but not the laptop. I thought it was my wireless card, so I changed from my pcmcia to the built in ethernet hub. I thought it was my configuration, so I reinstalled. Fresh out of the box, I get the same thing. I thought it was my firewall, so I did a direct connect to my cable modem. I'm certain it's not the isp b/c I called. I'm at my wits end here. It's not ssl or https, b/c I can get in to other sites using https. I can even telnet in to the site on port 110 (to check pop mail), but I can't get the pop mail off the sever using Kontact. Anyone have any clue as to why this one site on this one machine would be giving me such a headache?

devries Posted October 26, 2004 Report Share Posted October 26, 2004 According to Google it could be some configuration problem with MTU size and DSL. They seem to recoomend setting MTU to 1492. To change it this site says do: This worked like a charm!!!! In Linux (Mandrake 7.2) # /sbin/ifconfig eth0 mtu 1410 - to try it out (assuming eth0 is your ethernet port). To make the change stick across reboots I added a line: MTU=1410 to file: /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0 (values slightly larger than 1410 may work also, refer back to the initial post) http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,170...ip,16~mode=flat Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jeremy1701 Posted October 27, 2004 Author Report Share Posted October 27, 2004 Update: I did a fresh install of MDK 10.0 and things worked as they should. I then updated to MDK 10.1 and the problem returned. Looks like it may be some sort of bug? I don't know how or why, should I submit it?

jeremy1701 Posted October 27, 2004 Author Report Share Posted October 27, 2004 I do get an error related to mtu: Upload packet less than your MTU I get 1488/1500. The FAQ is specific to Windows, and everthing I find on google is about the 1492 mtu. hmmm Jeremy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
