I've setup a gateway machine for a network with ADSL. It connects to the internal LAN on rl1, to an ADSL router on rl0 and uses PPPoE to access the Internet; userland ppp is used to provide both the connection and nat services. The client are a mix of Windows platforms, including Win98 and Win2000 using Outlook (sigh) as their mail client. Everything works fine (including pop3, http, https) except smtp: when trying to send outgoing mail from the Win2000 machine, the smtp connection starts, the slows continuously until it reach almost 0 B/s and the remote server (I tried different ones) closes the connection. Win98 clients usually do work (altough with different performance levels: some are very fast, some show the above problem, but not as bad). Anyone has any idea of what might be happening? I tried set log tcp/ip from ppp, I tried tcpdump on every interface the system has, but noticed nothing strange (to me). Even a pointer to where to look would be helpful. Thanks in advance Bye av.
