Re: MTU, PPPoE, Servers and LinkSys Routers Sorry, I need a little more guidance... I've Got Win2K SP2, Outlook 2002, BEFSR41 (MTU 1492), and Speedstream 5260 modem. I'm having a terrible time sending attachments and sometimes plain email (I hadn't noticed, but given your post, I bet the ones that went successfully were under the MTU). What should I change to increase the probability of getting my email out?
I never used to have problems...is it possible that my ISP changed their MTU when they added email servers a few weeks back?

| John, I suggest setting MTU 1492 in the LinkSys. Your problem sounds more like an outbound one and may or may not be MTU related. But yes, when little files go and larger ones don't MTU is a suspect. I'm talking 5k files as large enough to show MTU problems - it doesn't take megabytes.
The MTU issue described here is more a server phenomena - inbound connections (and some silly things like ftp that has a hidden server-side connection).
Last, double check using the TWEAKS here on DSLR and see what they say your MTU is seen as. The tweaks forum has the knowledge, too. I am NOT the guy for PPPoE since I've never ran it myself.
