Re: Weird routing problem?

["Robert Schimansky" <cms_project_hs_zigr@yahoo.de>]

hello,

when using an ethernet-dsl-modem - and maybe with some other devices too - 
you have to set the MTU of your NAT-ed computers. see 
http://www.annoyances.org/exec/show/article04-107

I would appreciate if somebody could tell how I could solve this on the 
router insteasd of reconfiguring the "clients"

greetings
Robert
