Hello, it's me again. :) It's not PPPoE-related. I was able to reproduce the behaviour within a regular LAN from host to host. I also have another symptom which denies the PPPoE assumption: If I set MTU to value X then it doesn't work with MTU X+N anymore. I'll get the message "N bytes missing!" in the tcpdump output. For example: ifconfig fxp0 mtu 1448 # works ifconfig fxp0 mtu 1412 # still works ifconfig fxp0 mtu 1448 # doesn't work (36 bytes missing) ifconfig fxp0 mtu 1400 # works ifconfig fxp0 mtu 1412 # doesn't work (12 bytes missing) Regards Björn
