      Hi All,

      I have setup a pfsense 2.0.1 on vSphere 5 and working normally. But after I move to new house my ISP require me to change the WAN interface from DHCP to ADSL modem, after I create a new PPPoE connection that can dial up and get the WAN IP and ISP DNS but I only can browse "google.com" main page and type something to search that will show a result normally, but when I go to another site or click the search result from the browser will timeout and didn't show anything.

      On the pfsense, I can use ns lookup and ping to resolve any site both on pfsense or client machine, so I try to reinstall the pfsense, but same problem. Then I try a 3G USB modem as PPP connection and it normal. After that I try to install ClearOS with the DSL modem and PPPoE and it work fine.

      So is anything I missed on the pfsense configuration?

        Usually that ends up being an MTU issue. Try lowering the MTU to be <= 1492 and/or MSS to be <= 1452.

        May take some trial and error, might end up being inthe 1480's somewhere.
