An important question: Before fixing it, what did you have in the pptp command? No MTU at all? Or a high (i.e. 1500) MTU? If there was a "wrong" MTU, then maybe the solution is to omit the MTU flag and let pptp (or pppd) "decide" what MTU to use; I received today some responses from people who resolved their problems by just omiting the "mtu 1452" from their command, even without replacing it by their own preference (i.e. "mtu 1500"). -- Eli Marmor [EMAIL PROTECTED] CTO, Founder Netmask (El-Mar) Internet Technologies Ltd. __________________________________________________________ Tel.: +972-9-766-1020 8 Yad-Harutzim St. Fax.: +972-9-766-1314 P.O.B. 7004 Mobile: +972-50-23-7338 Kfar-Saba 44641, Israel ================================================================= To unsubscribe, send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the word "unsubscribe" in the message body, e.g., run the command echo unsubscribe | mail [EMAIL PROTECTED]
