Hi all,

Last monday, one of my colleagues got to me and said he couldn't reach
several webpages. I looked into it. We weren't able to make network
connections to several websites. Later on, even mail exchange with
several hosts wasn't possible.

It now turned out that network connections are made, but die after the
initial request. This is true for HTTP and SMTP to several external
sites. Using wireshark I see that TCP checksum mismatches do show up. On
WAN-if I do have several collisions, the box is connected via a fxp to
an external DSL modem/PPPoE.

The ISP checked the line, no drops, ADSL is fine. So I put up a second
computer, got together three xl-NICs and used pfsense-CDROM and m0n0.
Both show the same errors with these websites.

Strange thing now... I hooked up a laptop, and everything is just fine.
I hooked up a Netgear Hw-Router and again all is great.

So all in all, I have the same problems on different pfsense-based
soft/hardware.

Perhaps someone can try to reach www.epson.de, www.fogra.org or
www.xrite.com?

The setup is:
1x WAN (fxp0) PPPoE with MTU 1472 set by ISP
1x LAN (fxp1) NATed
1x DMZ (fxp2) external IPs, only forwarded from pfsense

network connectivity problems do show up on LAN and DMZ. Changing the
MTU doesn't seem to work as I'm then no longer able to connect to the ISP.

Anyone have an idea as to what I can do next?

best regards,
Philon Terving
