Folks

have had a running Cisco 877W configured to use Orange ISP for several months; however, something has changed over the last week as can now only get full browsing access when using default Speedtouch modem plugged into laptop rather than nice wireless using the router.

Symptom is that while some websites (eg www.google.co.uk) work when using wireless router, most others fail. Same sites work when plugged into Speedtouch USB modem.

ISP account settings have not changed and I hadn't changed anything on the router when problem first occurred (been tweaking and fiddling since so may have bust something!)

Noted different DNS server address from original config when connected to USB modem, so changed this on the router, enabled connection to google when wireless but no other URLs working (except orange - slow).

May be a config error, possibly firewall?, so have attached my config to this message.

Note several Access-lists in config - can't work out how to remove old ones, but SDM reports using 105 for info...

Old DNS 195.92.195.94 195.92.195.95
New DNS 193.36.79.101 193.36.79.100

Tried removing firewall rules (ie turning it off); but this did not solve problem.

Here's some additional debugging info:
With USB Speedtouch modem plugged in:
IPCONFIG /ALL
IP 91.111.54.95 (Preferred)
Subnet 255.255.255.255
Gateway 0.0.0.0
DNS 193.36.79.100
193.36.79.101

Browse to www.bbc.co.uk/news ok
www.google.co.uk ok
www.orange.co.uk ok

Outlook sends and receives email ok

ping www.bbc.co.uk resolves to 212.58.251.195 reply 59ms
ping www.google.co.uk resolves to 66.102.9.147 reply 63ms
ping www.orange.co.uk resolves to 195.92.248.7 but does not reply

Now with the router plugged in and wireless connection to router
IPCONFIG /ALL
IP 192.168.0.2
SUBNET 255.255.255.0
GATEWAY 192.168.0.1

Differential response to websites is often a MTU issue - although I can't imagine why it should only have happened recently. Try dropping the value to 1300 and see if this works: if it does, incrementally increase it back towards the 1452 value until it stops working, then go back a step. You may also need to set it on the ATM interface.

Your issue is not dns related, I can see this because your dns resolution is working fine.The reason you not getting a ping response from orange.co.uk is because they dont allow icmp packet repsonses(nobody gets a repsonse when pinging it).I also dont think its a MTU issue.

 

Thanks for the response guys.

Can confirm not a DNS problem - NSLOOKUP works fine

Haven't tried tweaking MTU's, but will get back to you when have...

My suspicion is some kind of HTTP filtering going on, but no idea what!

Update 2
Gave up and tried resetting router to factory defaults and re-installed everything. All worked fine, so have installed firewall - still working.
problem gone away!

cheers
