teh stupid....IT BURRRRRRRRRNS

[taleya.livejournal.com]

I'm having some problems with my DSL router. Specifically its being a skanky bitch and having hardware lockups when I attempt to initiate a DCC send in IRC in any port under 5000. I suspect it's either a firmware glitch, or a problem with IRC itself as winmx uses TCP and UDP ports far below this threshold without any hiccoughs (and DCC chat goes through fine), as does all other traffic when tested.

So, I trot over to hardware forums, and put a post up to see if anyone else has had this problem.

The reply i get?

"Can you check what your MTU setting is at?"
