I am getting an error on one of my internet access points, if you try and access a web page using say iceweasel one gets a delay of around 3 or 4 seconds then an error message is displayed saying something like "Iceweasel has detected the request being redireted to many times and its not likely to succeed, problem could be cured by enabling or disabling cookies or it could be a server error". Anything else such as an ftp transfer simple gets no response. Now I have a small network here one of the machines acting as the internet access point and firewall. The fire wall is just a small script enacting a "don't speak until spoken to" firewall, the script only acting on a single interface ppp0. There are two access points the first is a 3g mobile broadband modem using Virgin, the second a telephone line dial up modem. This is kept as a backup as the the 3g __CANNOT__ be relied on. Both of these are accessed via the "pon" command, only one is ever used at a time, hence only ppp0 is used. The problem __ONLY__ occurs on the 3g broadband access, the land line being quite OK. Anyone have any ideas on this, it would seem to me that virgin network is doing something strange. Lindsay
