One thing I noticed recently was that my firewall, running Linux, was getting a MTU of 576 bytes, instead of the normal 1500 bytes. This was being set by the Rogers DHCP server (option 26). [snip] I have advised Rogers of this and the person I was speaking to agreed it should be 1500. Let's see if they fix it.
I am on Rogers and just checked my MTU setting after reading James' email. The ifconfig output reports an MTU of 1500. I didn't change any settings for DHCP. Rogers may have already fixed the problem.
Curious. I checked before I posted my original message and it was still 576. It may be a local issue. I'm on the Wolfedale domain, in Mississauga.
