If your broadband connection is PPPOE the MTU should be adjusted down from 1500 to 1492 to account for the additional overhead.
If you are using VPN then the MTU must be adusted down further the amount will depend on the encryption chosen.
The following command line will adjust the MTU of card eth0 to 1492.
[EMAIL PROTECTED] steve]# /sbin/ifconfig eth0 mtu 1492
Try this:
Set your MTU to 1500.
Ping your service provider and reduce the packetsize from 1500 until ping works without the "Frag needed and DF set" message.
[EMAIL PROTECTED] steve]# ping -s 1500 [your.service.provider]
When you find the number that works set your MTU to that number.

Hi everyone, It's time to tweak linux to perform better for broadband. Usually, it an easy task for winBlows users, but dslreports.com provides a good head start.
Has anyone tried this before? how did it work for you? Any reason why RH sets MTU to only 1440? Any suggestions, links and additional resources would be welcome. Thanks a bunch, Medhat Galal
