HOTMAIL ,YAHOO browsing problems from clients

[klaus070]

This is interesting:

I have installed and configured a Windows 2000 Professional with an Internet shared broadband conection with PPPoE protocol.
Listen that: if I am the server I can enter in Hotmail and Yahoo and clicking in inbox I can check normally the emails, but If I move on a client (I have an XP Pro and a Win Me) IT'S IMPOSSIBLE to enter in the inboxes of Hotmail and Yahoo and I cannot check anything, but I can enter in the main pages where you have Inbox,Folders,Contacts and so on.

How can i resolve this issue? I have shared this internet connection especifically to allow other user to use it.
There is in the market a program that resolve that? Is a networking configuration problem? ( I don't think so because I see all the Pcs ,server included , and I can transfer anything without any problem of acces or speed between all Pcs)

Thanks in advance for a reply

Hello...

Firewall?

The web sites and also MSN messenger need to be able to access secure port 443.

Its just a thought, i had the same problem along time agao and opening that port fixed it

Almost certain its MaxMTU issue. There are many pages detailing how to fix this, google MaxMTU and pppoe.

It seems that with ICS and pppoe ahh, follow this link

and from that thread

set your maxmtu correctly and it will work.
