But my question is, if your DSL-Modem is connected directly to your computer, or if you use a router or other computer to do the DSL thing. With DSL you have to keep in mind, that your packages must fit into the other packages, that are send over the Ethernet (PPPoE). So normally you will not get problems, if you use the machine, where DSL is directly connected. But on machines behind it, you need to have the right firewalling rules to configure the path-mtu. So that you have problems with port 443 seems to me, is only, that it uses full-packages, not half empty ones. I had problems with ftp (e.g. with the dir-command) before I fixed my configuration. cheers hartwig felger Hartwig Felger informatics - -- 1024D/339FD693 Hartwig Felger <hgfelger@xxxxxxxxxxx> Key fingerprint = FB2F 3EE9 345A D55B 6FF2 0EC1 F5B0 684F 339F D693 For the pulic keys, please visit my page. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.2.2 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQE/p3Ua9bBoTzOf1pMRAqTvAKDCzEK36OIoGBDMuHjDHzY6AEOd1QCdErPO BjKLLolO7+b6UeHvUvwtayo= =zaCx -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- ___________________________________________________ .
