Support knowledgebase (hvogel_msc)
Applies to

Kernel: Versions since 2.4.

Request:

You use an ADSL over PPPoE connection, e.g. T-DSL from T-Online or Arcor DSL flatrate. You also want to use it as internet gateway for your local network . To fragment the packages with the size from > 1490, which are send from the clients to the gateway , the module mssclampfw had to be loaded in case of a 2.2.x kernel. But now you need the possibility to proceed like this in case of the kernel 2.4.x.

Procedure:

Please uncomment in the init script of the pppoe daemon the following line:

/etc/init.d/pppoed/

and remove the hash "#" in front of the following line:

# /usr/sbin/iptables -t nat -A POSTROUTING -o "ppp+" -j MASQUERADE

Keywords: MSSCLAMPFW, DSL, MASQUERADING, FIREWALL, IPCHAINS, IPTABLES, ROUTER
