xp MTU

[goms187]

I was wondering if anyone knew how to change the MTU settings in the register of xp.. or if there was a program that could do it for me.....and if so the best setting to use for a school network..it is running 100Mb/s with a 1 gig backbone and a 20Mb/s connection to the outside world...if you have any input it would be much appreciated!!

yep, there is a program, found at: http://www.speedguide.net/ click on TCP/IP Optimizer and that program will optimize your connection, as well as give you the ability to change your mtu

I'm not familiar with that program, but you need to set your MTU to 1500. It may only let you change it to 1492, if so, don't worry, it's accounting for the 8 bit overhead.

Here is a great tool that I've found for tweaking internet connection properties.

That's the one I'm familiar with. Quick, easy, simple.
