I didn't try different sizes, but I've done it now... >From a machine inside the gateway: % ping -s 1464 www.archlinux.org PING gudrun.archlinux.org (66.211.214.131): 1464 data bytes 1472 bytes from 66.211.214.131: icmp_seq=0 ttl=52 time=143.214 ms 1472 bytes from 66.211.214.131: icmp_seq=1 ttl=52 time=142.794 ms 1472 bytes from 66.211.214.131: icmp_seq=2 ttl=52 time=142.594 ms ^C--- gudrun.archlinux.org ping statistics --- 3 packets transmitted, 3 packets received, 0% packet loss round-trip min/avg/max/stddev = 142.594/142.867/143.214/0.258 ms % ping -s 1465 www.archlinux.org PING gudrun.archlinux.org (66.211.214.131): 1465 data bytes ^C--- gudrun.archlinux.org ping statistics --- 11 packets transmitted, 0 packets received, 100% packet loss When the size is 1465, which corresponds to 1473 bytes packets, I get no answer. But the same happens on the gateway, so this doesn't seem to be an issue. Not so clear to me, sizes of 0 specified still work, and from 0 to 1464 ping is OK... It's weird to me that I can ping the names, but I can't access them through web browser. And even more weird that some sites are able to be accessed through the web browser... I might try later what was suggested about logging... -- Javier.
