I have a comment about Can't
access some websites while using a shared PPPoE connection:
Having suffered from this problem for many weeks, and
just fixed it five minutes ago I'd like to share the
knowledge I gained from the fabulous community that is
the world wide web.
What worked for me was changing the MTU value for the
network cards in both the client machine and the host
machine.
The easiest way I found to do this was using the utility
"DrTCP" described in this article:
http://www.tweaktown.com/guides/93/broadband_connection_tweaking_guide/index.html
If you're just keen for a quick fix I would advise using the
MTU value of 1454
And just for completeness here is the link to the main
body of knowledge about this issue on Annoyances.org:
http://www.annoyances.org/exec/show/article04-107
Hope this helps someone.
If you'd like to repay me, please be nice to someone.
