Every time I set up a PC I run into networking problems. Invariably they're related to default MTU in Windows. Usually I never notice, until I need to access Microsoft.com whose site uses a lower packet size than the Windows default (thanks MS!) .
The whole thing is just very annoying and should'nt be such a pain. For some reason my laptop has no problems, but every desktop I've set up at home does.
My setup is a Windows 2000/XP multi-pc network on a linksys DSL/switch. I've gone with an MTU of 1454 to maximize compatibility. But it sure does suck that I'm not getting the most efficient throughput. Does anyone know how to deal with this without having to modify the registry of each PC set up?
