Title:
  Internet connection does not work if the MTU is set too high

Status in “netcfg” package in Ubuntu:
  Invalid

Bug description:
  I had real problems getting the Internet to work on a network but have
  discovered the cause. The network uses wireless Internet and suggests a high MTU
  - 1458. Pages would resolve the DNS fine but then sit on 'Waiting for ...'
  indefinitely. Other applications using the Internet would partially work. I have
  lowered the MTU on the router from 1458 to 1300 and all seems to work fine. I
  haven't had this problem on any other operating systems or distributions of Linux.
