so, yes you DO use PPPoE. DSL systems VERY often have a smaller-than-possible MTU. This often causes problems much like you describe. Just set it in your hostname.<if> file. Google for simple ping tests to find the maximum MTU you can use in your precise case...and see if setting the firewall accordingly solves your problem. Nick.
