Had the same problem fix it using drtcp in windows and manual config in linux. Basically you have to change your mtu to 1400. In drtcp just select the box for mtu and enter 1400, press ok and then restart your computer your network will work fine. There is a guide for debian on how to change in linux (the guide works for other distros too). http://www.dslreports.com/drtcp Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Auggie Posted July 14, 2006 Share Posted July 14, 2006 Thanks, it helped me too! My only question is now why is my wireless Intel 2200 not detected or even able to be installed in XP under Parallels, only my ethernet internet? I know the 2200 is not supported at all even through hacks in OS X (I'm on a Hackintosh), but I was hoping that I could install Parallels and switch over to XP and get wireless supprt when I needed it. I think Parallels will only let the loaded XP recognize hardware the the already existing Mac OS X installation detects, hence the failure of wireless detection and capability... I'm just hoping that I'm wrong! Anybody know? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
