Fragmented IP Packets Problem

    Hi all,

    I have a strange problem with my wireless network.

    I have a cable modem with internal wi-fi.

    There is a feature called "Block Fragmented IP Packets" in the firewall config.

    This is disabled by default. However, when I connect any Apple device to the network via wireless it causes a problem with the router and kills the connection on every other device.

    However, when I enable the "Block Fragmented IP Packets" the Apple devices connect without any problems and every other device is unaffected.

    BUT.....when I connect my Xbox 360 and the "block..." is enabled it can't connect.

    So basically, I can't have my Apple laptop or iPhone and Xbox connected at the same time.

    Any ideas? Is this an Apple problem seeing as it doesn't happen with any Windows devices (and Symbian Nokia phones)?
