[clug] web pages not loading via Fedora router

Tue Oct 5 16:38:38 MDT 2010

I have had this router running for quiet a few years and had done many
updates and after last weekend something has broken my router partially.

I use my Fedora box as a router/firewall
so I have F12 making the Internet connection etc..

but today I find some websites don't work if I access them from a
workstation

eg  workstation --> Switch --> Fedora --> Internet

I don't see any failure msg just sits there waiting..

eg
D:\>curl -v www.tvtonight.com.au
* About to connect() to www.tvtonight.com.au port 80 (#0)
*   Trying 209.188.85.116... connected
* Connected to www.tvtonight.com.au (209.188.85.116) port 80 (#0)
> GET / HTTP/1.1

> Host: www.tvtonight.com.au
> Accept: */*
>
(waits.....)

note when I try another website like  samba.org it works...
eg
D:\>curl -v lists.samba.org
* About to connect() to lists.samba.org port 80 (#0)
*   Trying 216.83.154.106... connected
* Connected to lists.samba.org (216.83.154.106) port

Any ideas what this could be....?
