I'm connected to an cisco-router with an E3 interface (10Mbit) to the
internet, so i would say it's not an MTU problem to the outgoing
interface (because I do have perfect bandwidth on the local machine, but
not if it's acting as gateway)

all interfaces are using an MTU of 1500
additionaly i played with mii-diag and tried different settings on the
LAN-interface (10, 100, FD, HD) without meaningfull differences

that's it.
