SpeedStream 5600 and email attachments

Hoping some kind soul will help me find a solution to my router issue.
I have a SpeedStream 5600 router all set up working great except for 1
major issue: I can't send attcahments in email or FTP files over 1k.
When I send an email with an attachment it freezes and then gives me a
network connection was dropped error. For example if I send a 6k word
doc or it stalls in the beginning of the send at 0 percent either it
stalls at 99%. If I attach a 1k pixel gif or email body has 1k size, it
will go. By the way, I also can't FTP. I'm dying to make this thing
work, so any help you can offer would be great. Just as bck grd info.
I'm using a SpeedStream 5600 mode configured to act as a router over
PPPoE with ADSL connection.

In some instances both need to be set for 1492.
