Stick a packet sniffer on it and look for MTU issues

If standard sized pings go thru, and all pings greater than a certain
size yet less than your MTU get lost, then...

This is just a semi-informed guess from troubleshooting non-SIMH issues
that were caused by MTU problems.

Note as part of your troubleshooting you may eventually have to assume
that something that claims to be "the MTU" is not performing
correctly...  Not enough to merely visually check your config.

Another good laugh to verify its not MTU is to force the MTU down
to something like 200 bytes and then wach the sniffer to verify it works.

Good Luck!
