Folks - There was a thread on this last week. To summarized, due to a disputed bug in ppp, you need to make sure that the MTU settings are 1500 on your masq box. If you're running pppoe, there is an overhead cost, and you must change the MTU to that of the pppoe connection (1492 in my case) on all client machines.
See http://www.e-infomax.com/ipmasq/howto/beta/m-html/ipmasq-HOWTO-m.html#MTU-IS SUES for more details. - Steve -----Original Message----- From: Mike McGuire [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, August 23, 2001 11:54 AM To: debian-user@lists.debian.org Subject: Re: ADSL problem with large packets On Thu, Aug 23, 2001 at 12:59:38PM +1000, Andrew Pollock wrote: > Hi, > > I just got ADSL running on my home network with a Debian gateway (two ethernet > cards). > > I think I've got an MTU problem.
