| |
I have an old 486-box acting as a router. It has two NICs and an ISDN adapter. The box is connected to my ISP by ISDN link and has a GRE tunnel running over the ISDN link. The other end of the tunnel is a Cisco router and the tunnel is the default route. I'm experiencing problems identical to the classic MTU problem with IP masquarade where a TCP-connection to/from some hosts becomes jammed after a few bytes have been sent. The only difference is that the problem is reproducable also on the router box itself.
I'm running 2.2.18 vanilla and my firewall rules aren't blocking ICMP. The ethernet interfaces and the ISDN link have an MTU of 1500 and the GRE tunnel has an MTU of 1514 (courtesy of Cisco).
Has anyone got any bright ideas how to work around this? Would upgrading to 2.4 fix this?
