[Bug 1349000] [NEW] Networking - Destination unreachable (Fragmentation needed)

 

Public bug reported:

A few years ago, I was using Fedora 16 and I was unable to do any HTTP POST at the place where I work. So I tried Ubuntu 12.04 (or 12.10, I'm not quite sure) and it worked perfectly.
Recently I updated it to 14.04 and the same problem I had in Fedora came back.
I'm not an expert in understanding these network packages, but I read that it could be that the network manager could had blocked the ICMP MTU dicovery package. I can check and if it is so I can ask him to unblock it, but I think that more people could also have this problem, so I wonder how it was working in the previous 12.04/12.10 version and if it should work the same in the new version.
Or maybe it's a different problem, I only have this problem at the place where I work.
