[ossig] Problem connecting to streamyx

[Venantius Kumar <venanks@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hi everyone,
for the past week I could not connect to streamyx service via my linux
gateway/firewall.

I called TMNet and managed to get a technician to see what the problem
was.  But (un)fortunately he has to use WinXP to connect.  Good thing
that he brought his own laptop -- for my home is almost devoid of
microsoft stuff.

He managaged to strightened things out, and we could get the
connection --- but only using WinXP.  When I tried to dial via the
firewall (Smoothwall Express 2.0) it give bad password encryption
error.   I am very sure the same setting has worked for the past 1+
yr.

Then just to check again, I borrowed a friends PC running WinXP to
test.  It connected without any hassle at all.  Now I have my cousin's
 PC also running linux desktop which connects to streamyx in his house
but not in mine!

I am totally perplexed at the moment.  Don't know what to do.  TMNet
made it clear that they don't support LInux.

So I am presenting  my case to all of you with a hope of someone here
may have a similar experience that you may have encountered and
resolved.

Thanks.


regards,
Venantius
