The resource might be set by something else. You can check the actual
value like this:

# /sbin/sysctl net.ipv4.ip_no_pmtu_disc

If it's still 0, my guess stays on MTU.

I guess that "small" is around your MTU on eth0.  Should be 1500 for
regular ethernet, but there might be an encapsulation layer somewhere...

You should try lowering it to something safe:

# ifconfig eth0 mtu 1280

This will most probably fix your problem.  Then you'll have to
investigate why the default MTU is not good for your network and what
should be the max allowed value.
