RE: [USR-TC] Odd dialup issue...
Another (slight) possibility - do a "mon rad" and look at the response from your radius server. See if there's anything unusual being set by the radius server. Is your radius server sending back an MTU setting? Usually, if you're radius is sending back an MTU setting it will mess up most everything rather than just a few web sites. But it's a possibility. One thing I've noticed - Windows ME seems to completely ignore any MTU setting the TC tries to force on it. Therefore it will work perfectly. But then you get a customer that gets a new machine with XP, and all of a sudden the MTU setting starts messing with it. Just a thought. Look for anything else "wierd" that may be coming back in the response from the radius server. - Joel -----Original Message----- From: Lewis Bergman [mailto:lbergman@wtxs.net] Sent: Thursday, January 13, 2005 9:24 PM To: usr-tc@mailman.xmission.com Subject: Re: [USR-TC] Odd dialup issue... Maybe your dialup IP's have been blocked by the banks firewall's due to some kind of attack being lauched from them. I have found many banks use the same IT 3rd pardy contractors and maybe those you mentioned all use the same FW setup or are fed an RBL by a common source. -- Lewis Bergman Texas Communications 4309 Maple ST.

Thanks much for the suggestion Joel, it was an MTU setting. There was a default MTU setting of 576 in my freeradius config, been there for years probably. Changed it to 1500 and got through to those websites right away. Is there a "recommended" MTU setting that my radius server should be pushing out, or should I not bother setting an MTU attribute at all? Funniest part was I came to the same conclusion and was coming on to post my results when your message came in. Tested with my old WinME notebook and it worked fine and then tested with my XP notebook no-go and MTU snapped into my mind. Most of our customers are older folks with older PC's... 95, 98... that's probably why we have not seen any issues. Every one of the problem clients are on XP though. The puzzling part is why this cropped up at virtually the same time on different websites for all of these folks. Cheers,
