Mike - I'm going to assume that this solved your problem.
Now I was running kernel 2.2.13 with pppd 2.3.10 (suse 6.3) and had no problems with this. I'm running PPPOE and my client is a Mac running OS 9.1...so making the mtu changes isn't going to be that easy. I'll give it a shot tonight and see what happens. Is there the chance it's somewhere else? - Steve -----Original Message----- From: Mike McGuire [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Tuesday, August 14, 2001 12:07 PM To: Stephen Nosal Cc: Debian User List (E-mail) Subject: Re: ipmasq/ipchains/reading TFM On Mon, Aug 13, 2001 at 01:05:25PM -0400, Stephen Nosal wrote: > Folks - > > I'm running a potato box (2.2.19) as a firewall/gateway for my tiny (2 > machine) home network.

I had what I think is the same problem, was driving me nuts. >From the ipmasq-HOWTO I found at http://ipmasq.cjb.net/ 7.15. ( MTU ) - IP MASQ seems to be working fine but some sites don't work. This usually happens with WWW and FTP. ............. A perfectly good way to bypass this is to change your Internet link's MTU to 1500. Now some users will balk at this because it can hurt some latency specific programs like TELNET and games but the impact is only slight. On the other hand, most HTTP and FTP traffic will SPEED UP!
