Which OS do you use?

In Gentoo you put something like this in your /etc/conf.d/net:

config_ppp0=("ppp")
link_ppp0="eth1"
plugins_ppp0=("pppoe")
pppd_ppp0=("defaultroute" "usepeerdns" "demand")
username_ppp0="<myusername>"
password_ppp0="<mypassword>"
mtu_ppp0="1352"

@ cryptic1, are you using a router or just PC straight to modem?

Well then there should be no reason to adjust anything. Vista should auto sense the max MTU & TCPWindow sizes.

To check if your MTU is correct ping this

c:>ping -f -l 1400 www.myadsl.co.za (can be any domain, and that is L, as in lower case)
if should give you packet needs to be fragmented but DF set
if you adjust the number to 1364 that should ping without above error (1364+28=1392)
Or just the number and that will tell you where your current MTU is set ("number"+28=your current MTU)

What should your MTU be ?

Why would you change this ?

 

[noswal]

do the above and you find out what it is, you do it to optimize your data throughput

Although iBurst suggest the use of a MTU of 1352, it's Cape Town based towers no longer uses the recommended MTU as the backhaul ISP's does not allow for the use of it and all seem to be working far more effectively with the standard MTU of 1492.

Therefore my advice would be; Should you not experience any issues with the standard MTU do not change it to the lower MTU of 1352.
