Dear Antonio, as you may have seen in my last post (the one with several outputs and log files), my MTU are the same as yours. One output I didn't provide yet is that of "route -N". Nevertheless I tried that command, as you suggested, but the result is just made up of two lines, and I'm almost sure they are identical to the first and last one of the output you provided. Previously, I saw several other lines, I really don't know what happened to them... Someone else suggested the problem was due to IPv6. I turned IPv6 support off, but nothing happened: everything works exactly as before (or should I say, it doesn't work at all). At last, I've got a sneaky suspicion that our good old friend Telecom Italia has something to deal with this issue. Check the many lines in the tcpdump output with "host x.x.x.x unreachable - admin prohibited filter", and the others with "microsoft-ds". What do they mean? As Telecom changed something so that I simply cannot access Alice this way? I really don't know what else to try... Best regards.
