MaxMTU ?

[Doomer]

Where is it ?

What's the default value ?

If it's not there, what's the proper syntax for adding it ?

Thanks

Sorry, forgot to mention, this is Windows XP Professional.

A little easier way for you to f*ck with the TCP/IP Stack.

Yea, I actually managed to find that on my own.

MTU = Maximum Transmission Unit, the largest physical packet size, measured in bytes, that a network can transmit. Any messages larger than the MTU are divided into smaller packets before being sent.

MaxMTU is the Maximum value of the MTU has to be set for optimum performance, depending on the nature of the connection.

Here is the Values and how to change them: Optimizing & Measuring the "Speed" of Internet Connection.

Thanks for the link Jack.

Let me mention the problem I'm working on. It's with Outlook 2000 SP3. When replying to a message, I get the error "Network problems are preventing connection to the Microsoft server computer."

No problems sending original messages, it's just when you reply to a message that you get this error.

Thanks

Increasing the MTU packet size only benifits gigbit transfers in my experience. I have found it useful for copying large files to another server on the local lan for backups. I doubt that the problems you are having are related to MTU size to be honest.

I ran across a post on another forum where someone had the same problem and it fixed it for him but I'm not holding my breath. I'll know in the morning. I do know that whatever the problem may be, it is in the client computer. There are 4 computers on the network and 2 have this problem and 2 don't.
