Question about 'Can't access some websites while using a shared PPPoE connection'

I have a question about Can't access some websites while using a shared PPPoE connection:

I have been searching the web and forums for an answer to this question. I appreciate the MTU suggestion posted here as it worked. What surprises me (or should I be surprised?) is that Microsoft does not address this problem in their FAQs or TechNet site. Thanks,

Well it's actually not a Microsoft problem.  It's caused by improperly set web servers. 
 Hence it's only some websites that don't work.

Can you explain what you mean specifically when you say "It's caused by improperly set web servers"? I've run into this issue many times and would like to understand how the server is involved in the problem. Thanks, Tom

Yeah, could somebody please explain exactly how the web server setup affects things, as I've noticed it a lot here. Also, SUPERB article this is - seems to have helped tons! Had this problem for months, with a range of Windows 98 and 2K clients. Both using internet sharing on Linux (mandrake 8.2) and Windows 2000, the problem existed on both. I am not using ANY special software - just pure ICS on a Win2K server - and this seems to have helped! Being a web server administrator myself, I'd love to know what can cause this to make sure I keep my sites compliant! Cheers for any input! Sparky
