Hi Richard, I resolved my issue: It was due to a wrong MTU setting in my network address translation program (nat32). So although it seems the communications chain works, it did not for larger packets. Thanks for your and other people's help that I received.
It didn't try any of the other suggestions, since setting the MTU in the network address translation (to the PPoE value, I just had to select that option) worked beautifully.
