I do not understand why you have a ppp0 and sl0 interface up? Do you have a dial up connection, or some other interface active? Or is this how pppoe is configured? The ppp0 interface seems to be in use. Could it be this is the one you need to reduce the MTU on? You could also try a figure less than 1480 (I got that off a Windows XP help site) If you do not think you need these interfaces you could just 'down' them ifconfig sl0 down derek > > > > -- ---------------------------------- www.jennings.homelinux.net
