Same probleme here :(

pfSense must be the issue, I tried with two modems (a Netopia and a Linksys)

When I change the modems to routeur mode and use pfSense in the middle with DHCP, MSN works fine.

But it does not work while pfSense is the one connecting using PPPoE

WEIRD ??? ???

Changing the MTU to 1400 solved the problem.

Now I must find a more standard way to solve this problem.
