The FAQ says : "One fix is to use regedit on your 95/98 boxes to add the following registry entry... HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Services\Class\NetTrans\0000\MaxMTU It should be a string with a value ``1450'' (more accurately it should be ``1464'' to fit TCP packets into a PPPoE frame perfectly but the ``1450'' gives you a margin of error for other IP protocols you may encounter). This registry key is reported to have moved to Tcpip\Parameters\Interfaces\ID for adapter\MTU in Windows 2000. Refer to Microsoft Knowledge Base documents ``Q158474 - Windows TCPIP Registry Entries'' and ``Q120642 - TCPIP & NBT Configuration Parameters for Windows NT '' for more information on changing Windoze MTU to work with a FreeBSD/NAT/PPPoE router." 1) 1435 would be a better value to suggest, as some ADSL modems are reported not to be able to deal with packets greater than 1436 according to http://support.microsoft.com/support/kb/articles/Q120/6/42.asp 2) the "MTU" key should be a DWORD and not a STRING 3) Another 'cool' Registry key to use under windows 2000 is "EnablePMTUBHDetect" which is intended to auto-resolve MTU-discovery troubles of that kind Fix: insert these statements into the PPP FAQ How-To-Repeat: lynx http://www.freebsd.org/FAQ/ppp.html#MACOS-WIN98-PPPOE-FREEZE lynx http://support.microsoft.com/support/kb/articles/Q120/6/42.asp (Well...perhaps lynx isn't the right tool for that last one)
