Dear Antony and Jason! Many thanks for the quick response! I'm enthralled.
Unfortunately "tcpdump -n -nn -p -i ppp0 icmp" gives nothing (I hope i did it well :)).
(what is -nn ? I cannot find that in the manpage.)
Are you sure this is a ICMP related problem? I can ping everything very quickly and correctly from the internal net. The things go wrong somewhere during the connections. :-( However you must be right, im not guru.
Anthony, my ext interface is the following:
ppp0 Link encap:Point-to-Point Protocol
inet addr:xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx P-t-P:192.168.0.254 Mask:255.255.255.255
UP POINTOPOINT RUNNING NOARP MULTICAST MTU:1492 Metric:1
RX packets:2255 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0
TX packets:3300 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0
collisions:0
RX bytes:133634 (130.5 KiB) TX bytes:1083394 (1.0 MiB)
MTU: 1492. But I dunno it is bad or good :)
Its less than 1500 bytes, however by only 8. Its bad?
And whats that clamp-mss-to-mtu thing ? :)
thank you !
