XP server caching hostname, MAC address something.... weird issue

PigBenis · 04-22-2008, 09:05 AM

Ok guys I'm having a very odd issue here. I have a Windows XP server I run at my parents house, it hosts IIS, FTP, Subversion, and VNC; I use it for a bunch of different things. I'm in a different state right now going to school, when I connect to my server from my apartment I have no issues connecting to any of the services all of the time. However, sometimes when i'm at school I can only connect to the FTP. If I try and connect to the other services, like web or subversion for example, it will sit at waiting.... for ever and will not continue. However, if a friend connects a to the server from his computer on campus he can connect to any of the services np, this tells me the campus is not doing any filtering.

I believe either my laptop is doing some kind of caching or my XP server is doing some caching and the changing of locations is throwing it all off. It's really starting to drive me crazy, help!

BTW the server hostname is mixr.mooo.com (web is 81 my ISP blocks 80). Don't hax0r my box!

Check your Hosts file? No idea why you would be able to get in via FTP if this was the case though... same with the below.

Did you flush your DNS cache?

Just two dumb things you probably tried.

Yeah checked those already... I can post a wireshark dump if anyone is bored? =D I'm getting [TCP Retransmission] and [TCP Previous Segment] lost messages which i'm pretty sure aren't good.

Sure, let's see it.

I'll get it up a little bit later. I'm thinking it has something to do with the packet size. I'm able a some data including cookies etc. But once I start getting large amounts of data I get those Retransmission messages. Also, when I'm connected to FTP i'm unable to actually transfer any files, it just sits there. I'll get some logs up later.
