Proxy seems mandatory ?

Hi all !

Situation :
We have a shared wireless connection at home using CHELLO.
The router is a linux box, 2.4.20, Masquerade/nat/etc...
The DNS and DHCP work perfectly, etc..

The Problem:
It is impossible to avoid the proxies of CHELLO to access a web page, and also any connection to a POP3 server other than pop.chello seems impossible ('connection time out')

Did you experience that already ? What to do ?

Thanks

GrosJo

I can assure you proxies are not mandatory. One of the few traits of a Chello connection is nothing is blocked or limited (well, unless you download too much ). I'd advise you to check your NAT and browser client configuration again.

The chello POP3 server is not pop.chello.nl, it's mail.chello.nl.

Well, the problem does not come from NAT, because, from the linux box (the one connected to the modem) I can make
ping proxy.rott.chelllo.nl
, but not to any other site.

also 'traceroute' make a time out when reaching a server out of chello network

Any advice ?

Could you do a traceroute from the linux box to a dutch site, like www.xs4all.nl or www.demon.nl and post it?

It might have something to do with your modem activation.
Does the linux box have the same MAC adres as your original configuration?

This web site seems to be down ...

Oops : https://provisioning.upc.nl

The only solution was to change the MAC address of the network card, so I got a another IP adress.

/sbin/ifconfig eth0 hw ether xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx

It works now, dont know why it didi not before :-|

thanks to all
