I believe this is the problem. Try leaving the MTU at 1500 and using the e100 driver, not eepro100. The e100 driver takes care of the oversized packet problem so no MTU compensation is neccessary. The fact that small packets come through properly also indicate that the problem is MTU related, since the http packets will have the maximum allowed size. Admittedly, when adjusting the MTU down there should be no problem, but unless you make the same adjustment on _all_ interfaces on that layer 2 network I guess Linux will be unhappy when large packets (over 1480 bytes, but under 1500 bytes which is the MTU at the sender) arrive, just like when the driver/NIC do not handle this properly for packets > 1500 bytes. //Peter
