I have a question about Can't
access some websites while using a shared PPPoE connection:
I am running a system with Windows XP which is connected to internet (ADSL + external
modem + ethernet/PPPOE).
Due to software problems (= not working correctly on XP) I installed a WMWARE 3.0
running win98se using host only networking.
I also configured the ICS as described in this article.
I was quickly able to reach through ping some dns adresses of my provider and finaly
(after applying the MAXMTU patch on the win98 system running in VMWARE) I could reach
ONE site (only one) using the internet explorer (www.msdn.com).
Is it possible that VMware somehow does implement a fixed MTU of 1500 for the
host-only solution?
Does anybody also experienced the same problem ? (is there a solution for it ?)
A temporary solution I found is to use a proxy on the host system (although I
would prefer to remove it).
