Hey All, I have a weird one for ya. I have users unable to connect to any Microsoft website (msn.com, microsoft.com, etc) on Windows XP running on Parallels 3.0 (and higher) inside Apple MAC OS X 10.5.X Leopard. Here's how I replicated their setup: - Connect to the internal LAN via Network Connect on your MACs running Apple OS X (10.5.x) - Initiate Parallels 3.0 or higher and start a Windows XP instance I am able to access both internal sites and external sites (including Microsoft sites) via Safari or Firefox on OS X. I am able to access internal sites and external sites via IE or Firefox running on Windows XP inside Parallels (using the tunnel established by Network Connect running on the Apple MAC) EXCEPT for Microsoft Websites. The request from the browser just hangs. I ran wireshark and it says I'm getting 'TCP Dup ACK' and 'TCP retransmissions'. I lowered my MTU but that didn't seem to fix the problem. Does anybody know how to resolve this issue?
