Smells somewhat like a broken path MTU discovery problem. There might be a hop in the path with a smaller than expected MTU and something between there and the server that is filtering ICMP. An interesting experiment would be to see what happens if a smaller than normal MSS is requested. This would probably be easiest for someone with a PPP connection.Received on Wed Jul 21 2004 - 15:20:35 UTC
