Shorewall users - Feb 2005 - Windowsupdate & microsoft pages

Hello everybody,

i can''t use the Microsoft Windowsupdate or browse any other microsoft 
pages when my shorewall firewall on my linux router is active.
I can browse every other page or play games via the internet. If i start 
my SuSE firewall the microsoft pages work and
the windows update does fine.

I haven''t seen any suspicios log information and i''ve allready
checked
for the "syn" packages that might not be logged.
I''m running shorewall 2.2

Any ideas?

I''m a little helpless.

Christian

If your Internet interface is some sort of Point-to-point connection
(such as PPPoE), then have you tried setting CLAMPMSS=Yes in shorewall.conf?

If that is not your problem then please post the information we request
at http://shorewall.net/support.htm and we will try to help.
