I have two suggestions for this problem:

1. Do you have a rule allowing ESTABLISHED and RELATED packets from the 
remote server back to the workstations (possibly some ICMP stuff such as 
fragmentation) ?

2. Check the MTU on your PPPoE and eth1 - I've heard about people using PPPoE 
having a problem with different MTUs on either side of the firewall - I think 
the solution was to clamp the larger one down to be the same value as the 
smaller one ?   Maybe someone else who who uses PPPoE or knows more about 
this problem can be more specific ?

Hope this helps,

 

Antony.
