Excuse me so what should I do?
Change the MTU?
On what the server or the client computers?
I will let you know that hotmail is reached from other computer throught my firstspot server, but from some other not.

Thanks

I have had similar problems.

You have to set the right mtu at the clients computers and the server.

Otherwise you may create something like a black-hole-router.

My internetprovider uses 1460 as MTU.

Some clients could not open ebay.de when I changed to this provider.
In case you need to know more details on how to test this issue, let me know.

As far as we know, most of the time you just need to tune FirstSpot's MTU and leave the client MTU as default (e.g. default is 1500 for Ethernet).

See http://kbserver.netgear.com/kb_web_files/N100603.asp for more dicussion on this topic.

Very Happy Razz Razz I'm very happy, my problem is resolved, as you recommand to me I have download the tool DRTCP and modify my MTU to 1500 (in the client machine, not the server), hotmail is now accessible.

Thanks all.
