    Maybe one of you linux heads can help me out. I recently got the esat business offering and am trying to share the connection bewteen two machines. The main machine which is connected to the dsl modem is running SuSE 8.2 (and very nice it is too) and SuSEFirewall. Now the connection seems fine on that machine no problems there. The second box is running Windows 2k Pro using the linux box as a gateway and its here the problems arise. I can establish a connection to the internet on this machine for example I can browse, ssh and play quake no problem. But for some reason I cannt do post on boards.ie or say log into hotmail. Its doing my head in, to the point I decided to try running win2k on the first machine and do connection sharing, and got the exact same behaviour. Any ideas ?

    I'd prefer not to forward all activity on http and https since I'll have a 2 more machines on (once I sort this bit out ).

    You can browse the internet fine but you cant post to boards.ie? Thats pretty strange.. the logging into hotmail I would assume is the firewall not accepting https connections (or masquerading them properly)... can you ftp?

    Cannt say I've tried, but I wouldnt think so since I never setup a reverse masq for it. https is open, does hotmail open a connection against the caller ? I havent seen any dropped connections against https just the usual windows exploit noise.
