I have a question about Can't
access some websites while using a shared PPPoE connection:
I am connecting 2 windows 2000 PCs via 100Mbps LAN. The highest MTU value that returned
a positive ping was 1472, so I adjusted the MTU registry of the client PC. I rebooted
but still could not access some websites - same problem. I check the MTU value, but
now 1472 returned an error message indicating it must be fragmented. I repeated the
pinging test to find a new MTU value that worked - this time 1444 was successful.
After modifying the MTU registry entry and rebooting, the same problem occurred.
So again I retested and found a lower MTU value that worked. But the problem is still
continuing. Why is the successful MTU value changing? I have not rebooted or modified
my gateway PC during this process.
