nasty school network
#1

in my school i've gotten the task to get a linux box to work...

 

that aint too hard, but i cant get online with it...

 

i can ping www.vg.no and get the ipadress of vg.no, but the packets get filtered, and that happens with all boxes in the network...

 

settings on the linuxbox

automatic ipadress and dns from dhcp

primary dns 172.17.97.2

secondary dns (the ipadress of nov.no)

dns searchpath nov.no

 

the router out from the school network is 172.17.97.1

oh, and we are connected trough a nasty firewall manained by the even nastier norwegian government, sometimes it shitlists certain mac-adresses (or so it seems) and you have to change nc to get online again

 

so my question is...

are there any possibilities that there are something with network i overlooked? like proxy (that we dont have) or nasty ms friendly/ linux hateing routers (it MAY exist :P)

 

sorry if my post makes little sense, i was like tired when i wrote this...
