Windows Update

Hi Frederic,

If I click create rule for what shows in my log....

''ICMP : All ICMP types (nukes, ...)''

''Stops all ICMP types not allowed by other rules.
For example, ICMP nuke makes your computer
disconnect from IRC (Internet Relay Chat).''


WU works OK?

Hi,

Is it a question or a statement ?

Thanks,

Frederic

 

Sorry its a statement.

Ok, in this case the problem is only in refining an additional ICMP rule allowing only the required type.
To do so:
- set back the global ICMP rule to block the packets
- you will get some alerts in the logs
- use a right click on one of these alerts to create a specific ICMP rule that will allow the packets.

Regards,

Frederic

 

I wouldn’t resort to opening myself up a bit more by making a rule which isn’t necessary under normal circumstances, it is simply the MTU size that is the problem here and should be adjusted…

 

Hi,

WU works with that rule.

I don't know what else to do?

I don't see how it is a router problem when I get the same results on my GPRS datacard?

MTU problem can be Router, or Windows MTU setting.
Using DrTCP, the utility I giving link for, set MTU setting to 1460 and reboot the system and try WU again.

 

Hi Phant0m,

This is probably a silly question.....

My Laptop has LnS on and it is my Laptop with the problem.

My desktop is also connected to the router.

Both my laptop and desktop both starting getting 100% at 1430.

Do I change my laptop (LnS) or desktop MTU to 1430 or both?

Thanks

Neggy

 

Any news on this one?

thx
