In case of Linux client, Iam able to successfully connect and login. But after that Iam not able to visit any of the webpages. I have checked the gateway, DNS settings and they are correct. Iam using Fedora Core 4.
I've finally got a solution to this problem!!
When using the Windows client, outgoing IP datagrams are mangled by a packet-level driver installed by the client installation program. This driver goes by the name of "eno2000.sys" and "enonotify.dll". The driver actually alters the "Type of Service" (TOS) octet of each datagram by setting bit 6 (assuming bits are numbered 0 to 7) to 1. Additionally, while the client is not logged in, the packet-level driver resets this bit to 0 for all outgoing IP datagrams. Correspondingly the server hosted by the ISP actively filters all packets and only allows the altered ("flagged") packets to pass.
But in case of the Linux client, the outgoing packets were not being altered. In case of linux, the outgoing packets can be altered using iptables with the command "iptables -t mangle -A OUTPUT -j TOS --set-tos 02". After doing this, I was able to access the internet.
I got all this information from http://www.rasteroid.com/software/slyberoam/protocol.asp.
Thanks for all ur help.
