Packet fragmentation problems.

Greetings all:

I have the following machine which is giving me trouble:
        AlphaServer 1000 4/233
        DU 4.0D unpatched
        FDDI interface on fta0
        10BaseT connection on tu0
        running gated
        This machine is routing between the FDDI and ethernet.

I have the following problem and I am wondering if this is covered under the
patches included in patch kit 3 or not, and if anyone has seen this
before....

        ping -s 1500 from the server to a station on the ethernet
side works fine
        ping from either direction works fine
        ping -s 1500 from a station on or behind the FDDI to the
ethernet fails 95%+

It appears to be a packet fragmentation issue, but this is very strange.

Any help will be greatly appreciated.
