I've just had the pleasure of hunting this one down. I've included the option mtu 1492 in /etc/network/interfaces for my NIC and I seem to be back in business (knock on woody!). This per the IP-MASQ HOWTO, section 7.15 (I connect via PPPoE).
But I wish I understood this better. Why would an MTU of 1500 suddenly become a problem? I had been doing fine for weeks. Why would it be a problem for one machine and not another? My 2.2 kernel machine has no problem. The HOWTO says MTU for PPPoE is 1490 but ifconfig shows 1492; if a difference of 10=1500-1490 is a problem, might 2 be? Anyone out there willing to shed light/share experience? (I can't bring up the MTU thread from the linux kernel list; is the link outdated?) Thanks.
