We've had all sorts of weird issues to do with MTU sizes in the past.
Mail not sending to certain servers, VPNs doing odd things with certain
applications such as Remote Desktop Protocol.
A few other pointers before changing MTU sizes and getting really
confused:
1) Ensure the website you're trying to ping does respond to pings :-) I
always use
www.google.com for this.
2) Ensure that it's not another issue first. e.g. DNS is OK for
3com.com, other people can access 3com.com (in case the website is
unavailable for everyone).
If you've got SSH access to another box that uses a different ISP to
yours, you can use SSH tunneling with dynamic ports to test pointer
number 2.
For example:
$ ssh -D1080 username@???
Then in your web browser of choice, tell it to use a SOCKS proxy on
127.0.0.1 using port 1080 (note: if you accidently put this information
in to the HTTP proxy settings, it won't work). All web traffic in
this example will go through hants.lug.org.uk in this example. Check by
going to
www.whatismyip.com which should return the IP address of the
box you're tunneling through.
Regards,
David.
