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!
