solution to decreasing MTU?

In an earlier message http://www.annoyances.org/exec/forum/win2000/n1027592820 I described a problem I was having where the MTU kept decreasing each time I set it and rebooted.

I think I've now solved this. I checked the MTU on the host PC and it was set to 576, so I changed it to 1426 (the maximum I'd been able to ping from the Client). I then set the Client machine to the same value and it works.

Thank you very much for your tip - it worked. My MTU values also droped with 28 for each time I reset the clients MTU value. I few things was different though: I'm using PPPoA (PPP over ATM) but apperently same problem. Also the MTU value was not set on my host so I thought it defaulted to MTU = 1500 but apperently not because as soon as I set host MTU to 1472 my client worked. So thanks again and good luck anyone...
