Yeah,.... I used to have major problems with this tied up to the 
IPmasq code, which the fragmenting broke. The way I got round it 
intially, was to alter the MTU et all in my Win95 registery, which 
was being masqed bt the Linux box. The solution I have now, is to set 
the 'ALWAYS DEFRAGMENT' in the kernel config (you'll need to enable 
the experimental feautures at the start of the config to allow this 
to work).
