Network Problem
Network Problem
Okay, I've having a little network problem I'm hoping someone can help me with.<br><br>My main machine is connected to the internet through my server. My server hosts my webserver as well as Sybergen Sygate Home Network internet sharing software for the other two computers on my network. All my computers use Win98 and I'm connected to the internet with a cable modem. The server has two nic's, one for the cable modem, one connecting to my network. My network consist of 3 machines which all use Linksys 10/100 PCI nic's, CAT5 cable, and a Linksys 5-port 10/100 Switch.<br><br>When I view something off my webserver using it's external ip address (nohr.darktech.org which redirects to my ip address, 66.76.72.95), not the internal one (125.125.125.3), my internet connection will freeze for a short period of time (under a minute) on both the other computers; however, I can still get online on my server. If I use the server's internal network address it works perfectly, no freeze. It does not effect me at all when people outside my network connect to my webserver.<br><br>I've replaced the nic connecting to my network, and I've tried using different webserver software, neither of which have helped. I could just tell windows to use 125.125.125.3 whenever the address nohr.darktech.org is used, but that doesn't really solve the problem.<br><br>It seems to me that it may just be a single network setting that needs changing, but I don't know what. Anyone have any ideas? <p><embed src=http://k6plus.50megs.com/NohrSig.swf width=400 height=200></p><i></i>
Re: Network Problem
Out of curiosity, what happens if you "ping nohr.darktech.org" from one of the client machines? Does Sygate to NAT or is it a proxy server? Sounds like some type of DNS quirk. <p>Best regards,KyleK6speed URL:Coming Soon: www.kylebrant.com/k6speed.htm</p><i></i>
Re: Network Problem
Pinging nohr.darktech.org works fine.<br><br>Sygate is NAT software.<br><br>It's not a DNS problem because <!--EZCODE AUTOLINK START--><a href="http://66.76.72.95">66.76.72.95</a><!--EZCODE AUTOLINK END--> gives me the same problem as using nohr.darktech.org<br><br>Thanks for trying! <p><embed src=http://k6plus.50megs.com/NohrSig.swf width=400 height=200></p><i></i>
Re: Network Problem
OK at the risk of sounding stupid...<br><br>Maybe its a routing problem? I.E. all external traffic goes out over the cable and then comes back. <p></p><i></i>
Re: Network Problem
Could you elaborate a bit? Not sure exactly what you mean. <p><embed src=http://k6plus.50megs.com/NohrSig.swf width=400 height=200></p><i></i>

Nohr:<br><br>I'm sure you spent lots of time on the animated sigs and they are slick, but to view this page, the browser downloads your sig multiple times so loading this page is incredibly slow. Do us a favor please. <p>Best regards,KyleK6speed URL:Coming Soon: www.kylebrant.com/k6speed.htm</p><i></i>

Yeah yeah, I know. It'll get resized some day. <p><embed src=http://k6plus.50megs.com/NohrSig.swf width=400 height=200></p><i></i>
Update
Okay, I've put a new motherboard in the server (an MSI-5169 2.1, courtesy of Cake). I've also done a clean install of Win98 SE and I've updated the Sygate Home Network internet sharing software to the latest version. I was hoping all this would help, but I'm still having the exact same problem. <p></p><i></i>
Re: Network Problem
Have you checked your NAT software, or the proxy, if you have reverse hostname lookup enabled for your internal network? <p></p><i></i>

Re: Network Problem
I don't see that option in the config. There is "Enable DNS Forwarding" which I have on, don't know if that's similar or what. I also have both of my ISP's DNS server's IP addresses in the "DNS Search Order". I got the addresses out of winipcfg. <p></p><i></i>
