Why can I access some web pages with PPPoE but not others?
Access to only some web pages is a common problem when running a PPPoE client on a router. By design,
PPPoE can support an MTU of up to 1492 bytes; therefore, you must ensure that end devices send out frames
no larger than 1492 bytes. Limiting the MTU to 1492 bytes could be a problem because most PCs and
end−user workstations have a default MTU of 1500 bytes.
There are two options for adjusting the MTU size: adjust the MTU size at the router and adjust the MTU size
at the PC.
Adjusting the PPPoE MTU Size on the Cisco DSL Router
Important Notes:
The following configuration commands work only if you are running Network Address Translation (NAT) or
Port Address Translation (PAT) on the Cisco DSL Router.
The ip adjust−mss command in Cisco IOS®Software Release 12.2(2)XH has changed to ip tcp adjust−mss
<mss value>. This change is documented in Release Notes for the Cisco 800 Series Routers and Cisco 820
Series Routers for Cisco IOS Release 12.2(2)XH.
