Bingo. I guess thats a bit easier to understand :-)

Umm, not sure, is it a compile-time or runtime option?
After even more poking around, I've found that:
* The problem is sporaddic. I've managed to fix it 3 times now only to have
it come back. One time it worked for 5 whole mins until I apparently
toggled something to make it go all wonky again.
* The router isn't messing with icmp packets.
* Networks connections are annoyingly persistent sometimes.
* I'm befuddled.
On a plus note, i'm sitting here watching the icmp stuff, and I no longer
see must fragment errors for anyone besides myself. I was averaging 1
person every couple mins having trouble. So that means that either they
gave up or that I've won.
I even more than ever want something with a stupid easy to use interface
with automatic settings :-)
