Help needed: Sharing PPPoE with Edimax BR-6104K
I am having problems with internet sharing PPPoE with Edimax BR-6104K. At the moment I am trying to connect my linux box to the Internet via this router.
The setup seems to be ok because I managed to get online and browse around a bit. BUT some sites like google, amazon.com load VERY slow and I cannot get into my gmail at all - it would just say after some time 'Document contains no data'.
When I connect my linux PC direct I have no problems at all - everything loads fast and I can access all sites.
I guessed it could be an MTU problem. On the router I set it to be 1480 (this one was assiged to me by ISP when I tried to connect my PC direct). On linux it used to be 1500 and I changed it to 1480 too. But still no joy...
Basically I tried many possible MTU settings and could not get google working notmally and gmail working at all.
I set the IP for router to be 172.20.20.1 with mask 255.255.0.0. I tried to turn on DHCP on the router, so that it would give my PC an IP, but it did not help... I also tried to turn off DHCP and assign my PC a static address 172.20.20.20 with 255.255.0.0 mask, but it would not work anyways. And I even entered my PC's IP into DMZ on the router, but could see no changes.
Note that I did make sure to remove all PPPoE related software and network interfaces before connecting the PC via router. Meaning that I can see only my eth0 and lo in ifconfig.
If anyone could give me any idea what is wrong I would very appreciate it.
