Hi all,

I have 1 windoze client accessing a squid proxy allwing pasv ftp connections. The client 10.0.0.180 is configured like this: default gw 10.0.0.191 proxy settings in ie5: 10.0.0.191 port 3128 for all protocols.

the ftp conneting speed is painful slow. The windoze 2k box first tries to have ftp routed over 10.0.0.191, then it realizes (due to the rejected packtes which produces icmp dest unreachables) it has to use the proxy's port 3128. Then it connects after ages of waiting to the ftp server in pasv mode. Trying to change directory on a ftp server takes up to several minutes of waiting. In case I remove the default gw setting from win2k client's tcp/ip settings the ftp connecting speed is ok.

How can I tell windoze 2k or ie5 to first take a look into ie5 proxy settings and if successless try to connect via routing? Anybody got an idea?

Using a private address i think that u will never access by routing,

I don't want ie5 to access through the default gw. ie5 should only use it's proxy settings regardless of the default gw setting.

so it is unusefull taht you try to set the default gateway, except the router don't have the NAT.

NAT is enabled. I need routing for smtp and pop3s.
