Hi Everyone,
Lately I have fixed a problem with ADSL and internal network that had the 
nature of being non consistant (e.g. coming and going).
It apears that sometimes the ISP does more than one tunnel ( to switch the 
connection from one server to another?). This reduces the MTU and makes the 
internal network into a black hole.
In the case I dealt with (pure M$ environment) the solution was to reduce the 
MTU on the internal pc's to 1400 .
With a linux router you can do it easier - just reduce the ppp MTU to 1400 and 
add a rule in your iptables to adjust the MSS to the ppp interface.
This might be here also (though the symtoms are a bit different).
