RE: ADSL problem with large packets
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

SUES for more details.
