Hi Dave,
maybe I can help you with some information here....
I experienced pretty much the same problem when I upgraded from a dial-up
line to DSL which runs over PPPOE. I am using a program called WinRoute
on my gateway to DSL which does the necessary NAT. The problem with
Winroute here (maybe your customer is using that too) is that it is not build
for PPPOE. Incoming traffic like POP3 or FTP downloads work fine but if you
try to send data out it will fail. The solution of this problem is to
decrease the
MTU on the workstations behind the gateway to 1400.
Talking about WinRoute... WinRoute has a build-in smtp-gateway so I could
imagine that this has been used but as soon as your customers try to use
your SMTP directly they fail.
However this is just a hint and I hope that it is a help to somebody on the
list
some day. :)
Regards,
Lordy
