Right so I've got 2 Iburst modems, a 2Mb one for general internet usage and a 1Mb modem for VoIP calls.

I've got both of the modems connected to a firewall that does the traffic splitting between the 2 modems, MTU for both is set to 1392. Problem is when I connect the 2Mb directly to my laptop or via the firewall web pages will load fine for a couple of minutes then I start getting connection reset error messages but only for HTTP and SMTP, RDP still works fine. When I connect the 1Mb to my laptop or have the firewall send all my traffic over it then everything works perfectly fine, got 100% signal when plugging the modems into my laptop and got external antennas just in case, so signal isn't a problem.

Anyone with any ideas what the problem could be?

Ps. the 2Mb was working perfectly fine from saturday till this morning around 10/11ish.

Please PM me the UTID and I'll investigate (also your co-ords so I can refer to the BTS)
