PPOE logs it in, and it does dhcp handling for my local network. I did not set MTU on the system. I didn't think that would be necessary because the local interface to the router/modem is via standard 100mb ethernet. The modem is furnished by the provider and I expect that it is setup correctly. And I don't understand how that could affect the operation of the modem out link. But I could be wrong ;-) Regards, Les H
