Although it would be odd for this not to be picked up automatically, the
only numbers in your ifconfig that look like they *could* be causing a
problem is your MTU. Some ISP's, regardless of where in the world you
live, pick their own maximums. Some go for 1500, some 1498, 1492, 1490.
Try setting it to something like 1460 and see if that resolves your issue.
Can't remember quite how thats done with ifconfig. Been a while. If 'man
ifconfig' seems a little daunting, everything that anyone has ever known
is on google.
Hope this helps. If not, perhaps someone who knows Dyne a little more
intimately might be able to suggest some Dyne-specific issue that might
cause this.
Good luck.
Dan.
