Hi,

Three weeks ago I had a debian 4 on my network acting as a gateway
with ppp/pppoe. I install from scratch a new debian 5 on this computer
last week.
Since, I experience problem accessing some websites with a timeout for
error, or the browser (firefox or ie) indefinitely load the page and
never display it.

First i re-install from scratch the debian thinking it could be an
installation problem. But problem persist.
Then, I do some search on web and different list and I found i could
be a MTU related problem, so i try different configuration in my ppp
"dsl-provider" file but nothing good happen. I disable iptables on the
box and nothing better too.

Unfortunately, my adsl modem was destroyed last week and I buy a new
one and then the same problem happen.
When I use another router or another computer (winXP) to establish the
pppoe session it works fine for all websites...

Someone have any idea on whats going on ?

Thanks for your help

Maybe DNS? :)
Try a different server and let us know.

DNS resolution works fine on all computers (i can get ip address of
all host i ping) i use the dns provided by my ISP. Anyway, i used
change them to openDNS one, but still not working.

It still sounds like a mtu problem, what exactly did you do to fix the
mtu problem

so when you browse from the linux computer running pppoe you have
problems ? or only when you have a computer behind it.

In 1869 the waffle iron was invented for people who had wrinkled waffles.

I don't have any graphical ui on the linux box but a `wget
website.domain` is endless.

To fix mtu problem, i edit the /etc/ppp/peer/dsl-provider and modify the line :
mtu 1492
to
mtu 1450 (i tried many value between 1450-1400)
the disconnect/reconnect.
I tried to set it to another value with the ifconfig command too.

And I found on an internal windows station a max mtu size of 1463
(with ping -l 1463 -f)

For information, the MTU discovery is set on iptable on the debian gateway :
#iptables -t mangle -L
[...]
Chain FORWARD (policy ACCEPT)
target prot opt source destination
TCPMSS tcp -- anywhere anywhere tcp
flags:SYN,RST/SYN tcpmss match 1400:1536 TCPMSS clamp to PMTU

Thanks for your help
