This problem has been known for a long time.   You need to clamp the MTU on 
your interface to the Maximum Segment Size supported by your ADSL link.

Nothing is the matter.  You're packets destined to (or coming from) zaobao
are taking one route, and you're packets to kernel are taking a different
route.  The difference is, the packets to kernel are going through a router
that supports an MTU of less than 1500.  Thus, fragmentation is required.
However, a router somewhere along this path more than likely contains an ACL
that drops ICMP Type 3 Code 4 Fragmentation Required but DF set) packets.
Consequently, your system is never notified of the need to reduce the MTU,
and all packets are dropped.  By reducing your MTU to 1300, you have
circumvented the need for fragmentation, and traffic flow to Kernel goes
undisturbed and uninterrupted.
