I had to redo my firewall and routers over the weekend due to a change in our isp. After changing everything and modifying some of my firewall rules, every website works (that I know of) except for kernel.org. I can ping kernel.org, traceroute it etc, but can not open either an http or ftp connection. Initial connection is made, lynx says connecting to kernel.org and then just dies. Squid reports a tcp_miss/504 for the site. If I do an iptraf on my firewall for the interface connected to my DMZ I get the following: Wed Jul 5 18:58:35 2006; UDP; eth1; 46 bytes; from 204.111.40.4:33592 to 204.152.191.37:33507. If I try to connect from inside the firewall I dont get any connection to kernel.org that I can find. I am really missing something here. Ive been through my log files and cant find a reason for this. I could send my firewall script if needed. It is quite long though. I have 4 class c addresses and several small subnets that get routed, natted, etc. If anyone could help me try anything else to point me to where the problem may start and end. thanks everyone, -- Dwayne Hottinger Network Administrator Harrisonburg City Public Schools
