The following are what I have in my registry for Win 2K Pro for Enternet 300. The max MTU I was able to achieve was 1486 and I was told that this was the max although I was never given any complete explanation.
In the registry look for
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\Tcpip\Parameters\Interfaces\{1815221 B-613F-4229-A730-98B6600C34AC}]
MaxFrameSize=1486 which is REG_SZ
The other entry of interest is [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Class\{4D36E972-E325-11CE-BFC1-08002B E10318}\0008]
MaxFrameSize=1486 which is REG_SZ
There is also a config file named ntsp3oe2 which I include for completeness:
The only paragraph that should be edited is the one that pertains to Max Frame Size. It should be noted again that this parameter is not numeric, but a character string both here and in the registry.
For the record I also recommend that anyone using PPPoE should use it through a router in order that the router can properly accommodate the environment. By that I mean your LAN should use an MTU of 1500 and the router will convert it to 1492 before transport on the WAN port. This is the only implementation I have heard of that really works well and it is the one I now use. Enternet 300 is a backup only.
I hope this helps!!!
