If you do an "ifconfig" as root, what do you get back? What is the MTU setting? Is itdirect onto the net, or via a hardware/software firewall?
This is the result of ifconfig eth0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:05:5D:E9:EF:58 inet addr:80.7.127.73 Bcast:255.255.255.255 Mask:255.255.255.0 inet6 addr: fe80::205:5dff:fee9:ef58/64 Scope:Link UP BROADCAST NOTRAILERS RUNNING MULTICAST MTU:1500 Metric:1 RX packets:7112 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0 TX packets:291 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0 collisions:0 txqueuelen:100 RX bytes:521493 (509.2 Kb) TX bytes:22220 (21.6 Kb) Interrupt:5 Base address:0xe800 lo Link encap:Local Loopback inet addr:127.0.0.1 Mask:255.0.0.0 inet6 addr: ::1/128 Scope:Host UP LOOPBACK RUNNING MTU:16436 Metric:1 RX packets:438 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0 TX packets:438 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0 collisions:0 txqueuelen:0 RX bytes:172606 (168.5 Kb) TX bytes:172606 (168.5 Kb)

Perhaps answering some of these questions may help some people see where your problem lays.
