Hi all,
I'm trying out bridging for my wireless and wired LAN, so that they can
both use my PPPoE connection. Here's the network structure, pretty easy:
darjeeling (192.168.1.7) ringo (192.168.1.3)
(mtu 1500) (mtu 1500)
\ /
\ wlan0 <--br0 (mtu 1500)--> eth1 /
-- 802.11 --- influx (192.168.1.1) --- Ethernet --
/ (mtu 1500) | (mtu 1500) \
... eth0 ...
(mtu 1500)
|
v
ppp0 (mtu 1492)
|
v
(( Internet ))
My problem is that certain websites are inaccessible from darjeeling and
ringo if I don't set the MTU to 1492 on each client. Changing the MTU to
1492 on eth0 just fubars my PPP connection.
Alternatively, setting up a HTTP proxy on br0 works as well, and is the
solution I'm using for my clients at home right now.
Could somebody explain to me what is going on? What I would prefer to do
is use a solution that doesn't require me to use the proxy or change
everyone's MTU to 1492.
If I'm being unclear please ask me to clarify, I'm not quite sure I have
all this understood myself.
Please CC me as I'm not subscribed to the list.
Thanks!
