 Linux firewall should have something like:

And also in FORWARD and OUTPUT, but it may be that you already have a rule to 
allow 'RELATED' traffic, and if you also allow all outgoing traffic, then the 
above rule actually is redundant.

 The webserver (apache2) uses the defaults from Suse 9.2. Nothing special

Quite a few now said it might be the case that it's firewall blocks all
icmp packages. Try lowering the servers mtu for the fun with it.
Mine is 1442, automatically lowered to the highest value working everywhere.
Think of possible PPPoE headers, since you seem to have a dsl
connection. dunno what the exact setup looks like.

Yes, any sensible sysadmin ought to know that ICMP fragment error packets (type

I don't think it is the server, as the MTU size of the server didn't change.

The router is outside my control; It's controlled by the ISP; 
So there is nothing I can do about it. If you can tell me how to determine
it's MTU size, then I can try to do something about it.

 you could maybe try to ping google or something with huge package.
 remember to add the header size in mind.

Works with size up to 1472.  (+28=1500, so this figures)

From the ping tests that have just been sent in, it's clear that it
works for high MTUs also.

But it doesnt neccessarily show that any Fragmentation needed packages
can reach the server - which is the thing we need to proof or disproof,
I'd say...
And i'm sorry - i have no idea how this could be done - anyone?

The size at which you can ping www.freepascal.org isn't relevant, that
just means that you are not blocking 'fragmentation needed' packets. 

Interesting might be the size at which www.freepascal.org itself can
ping, for example, xzone.dyndns.org (our dynamic behind-dsl IP which has

You should be able to ping much higher unless you do 'ping -M dont ...'
since 
The fact that you cannot suggests that there may be some router/firewall
blocking these ICMP packets.
