How do I get the MTU setting for the host?

I am a general user on a corporate network. I am attempting to connect to websites that give me incomplete files. I finally figured out that the problem is the MTU size. However, whenever I set the MTU size on my client, after I reboot, the MTU size that works decreases by 28 bytes, the size of a packet header. It goes down another notch each time I set it to a lower value. I did some reading on this site and found someone who figured out that if the MTU of the host is less than the MTU of the client, the client MTU will decrease until the client matches the server. This person merely reset the MTU on the server and set the client MTU to match. However, I am not a network admin and have no such rights. How can I find out the MTU setting of the server I am connected to?
