Re: Debian Client / OpenBSD NAT Very Strange Problem. (SOLVED)

[Martin Marconcini <mmarconcini@circuloasegurador.com>]

Indeed. but the problem is solved. After reading and experimenting, i've 
found that the MTU when you use adsl and the pppoe package needs to be 
lowered to 1350 on every client that will be using the NAT. I have had the 
problem on Win9x and Linux machines (debian and caldera).

So when you change the registry and restart (win) or simply ifconfig the ethx 
for using mtu 13xx it will work fine.
