Fedora Core 10 router cannot reach microsoft domains
Ok, so i've recently installed a Fedora Core 10 box on my lan acting as router / firewall / samba / vpn. I've gotten everything configured and operating except for the odd behavior that I cannot get out to microsoft.com, msn.com, windowsupdate.com, or anything along those lines.
I attempted to dump the firewall and shutdown the samba and VPN services to see if this alleviated the problem with no success. So, when i traceroute out to www.windowsupdate.com this is the result i get: Code:
traceroute to www.windowsupdate.com (207.46.18.94), 30 hops max, 60 byte packets Thanks for your help. |
When I click on your www.windowsupdate.com link I get through to the site. It gives me a message:
Code:
To use this site, you must be running Microsoft Internet Explorer 5 or later. So I think that you are getting through to the site OK and Microsoft is refusing to service requests from any browser other than IE. ------------------ Steve Stites |

Firefox has extensions that'll allow you to report yourself as "Running IE" (when you are not, but it'll work around their stupidity) Try it. I had a big moan at my bank a year or so ago. Now they do not bother with "Browser ID", but I doubt MS will be so receptive. So just learn to spoof your browser ID for now :) |
I apologize, i should have specified earlier. There are windows clients (XP and Vista) behind the linux box. None of them are capable of getting out to those domains while the linux box is running as the router, however, if I connect the modem directly to one of the windows clients there are no issues connecting to the domains.
