And we know the whole internet observes handling mtu discovery properly and doesnt just firewall all ICMP because 'hackers'.
(OP's issue may well be MTU discovery, esp if he's on broadband. Don't have enough details. I just solved this exact problem a couple weeks ago for a client with an UBNT ERX by turning on it's MTU hacking feature. Sites that engaged in ICMP mtu blocking included cnn.com.)
Heh. And because life isn't interesting enough, Amazon AWS has started defaulting their larger VMs to a 9001 byte interface MTU.
I meant routers are allowed to drop ICMP request packets to themselves, not the packets to be transitted. I wasnt clear.
I think you really meant echo-request packets to themselves, right? ;) Regards, Bill Herrin -- William Herrin ................ herrin@dirtside.com bill@herrin.us Owner, Dirtside Systems ......... Web: <http://www.dirtside.com/>
